Blast, I think we're headed higher, but you're right, you can't knock 25%.

I think we'll top in late May or June.

 

VLO is busting out.

All this press about refinery margins is going to feed a pig-out, IMO.

I bought one lot at $56.70, and another at $59.10, so my money is where my mouth is.

 

I'll hold for $65 range unless this breakout fails. I think the pump is being primed...there is a lot of energy in this one...it's not yet topped.

Will sit on my hands for now while it churns.

 

This is why I like TSO here.

I like TSO, too, but it's had such a huge run already.

 

Not that much of one:

The crack spread has come in about $2.00 the last couple of days.
VLO announced the "restart" of their Houston refinery.

An Open Interest of 18,000 March 60 Calls would seem to indicate that VLO will head for the $60.00 strike for Friday.

 

VLO 60.01 -0.50 (-0.83%) Mar 16 4:00pm ET

 

I'm starting to sweat.

This was my recession proof, defensive, blah blah blah, pick.

 

Yea, I'm not likeing this either..wtf.
