However, meager gains failed to prevent the Dow and S&#38;P 500 from suffering their worst weekly performance this year. Global economic concerns weighed on investors through the week and their influence carried onto Friday. Moreover, tepid housing data made matters worse on Friday, limiting gains. On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) gained 0.3% and closed the day at 13,080.73. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was also up 0.3% and finished Friday’s trading session at 1,397.11. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index edged up 0.1% and settled at 3,067.92.

Now that the analysts have had some time to ponder over the quarterly performance of Tesoro, they are weighing their estimate revisions.

		<description><![CDATA[Valero Energy&#8217;s (VLO) second quarter earnings climbed more than 39% year over year. The growth was backed by the overall improvement in the refining environment and higher feedstock discounts. Valero Energy remains enthusiastic about the third quarter and is consistently reviewing its refining portfolio and enhancing the asset base by acquiring refinery assets that enhance its operating performance. We expect Valero&#8217;s 2011 and 2012 earnings to benefit from improving U.S. and global economies, higher refining margins, wider crude discounts, increased operating rates and continued cost saving initiatives. Therefore, we are maintaining our recommendation at Outperform. Valero remains our favored stock in the refining space for its sound balance sheet, good liquidity and solid assets base. Our $26 price objective reflects a P/E of 6.25 on our 2011 EPS estimate. VALERO ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Independent refiner Tesoro Corporation (TSO) came out with impressive second-quarter 2011 results, driven by higher throughput, improved margin environment and solid operational performance. Earnings per share (excluding special items) came in at $1.65, comfortably surpassing the Zacks Consensus estimate of $1.34 and way above the year-ago adjusted profit of 30 cents. The San Antonio, Texas-based firm reported revenue of $7,963.0 million for the three-month period. This was 13.5% above our projection and was  also up 54.8% year-over-year. Segmental Analysis Refining: Tesoro’s Refining segment posted an operating income of $399 million versus $150 million in the year-earlier quarter. This marked improvement can be attributed to higher refinery throughput rates, significant crude sourcing advantage, and better margins.

		<description><![CDATA[Crude Oil The improving economic scene – both here in the U.S. as well as worldwide – and the continued unrest in producing countries had been the main driver of the oil rally, which saw the commodity zoom past the $110 per barrel level earlier this year. However, apprehensions about high U.S. crude stocks, the release of emergency oil supplies from government-held strategic reserves into the world market, and uncertainty over oil supply disruptions in the Middle East have been weighing on investor sentiment, weakening oil prices to less than $100 a barrel. But far too many factors weigh on oil prices to definitively size up each one of them for their respective impact on prices.

Subsequently, the markets ended their four-day losing streak and benchmarks ended in the green. Moreover, an encouraging report from China on its economic growth ensured that indices closed the day in positive territory. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) ended 0.2% higher at 12,491.61. The Standard &#38; poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) settled at 1,317.72 after gaining 0.3%. The Nasdaq Composite Index added 0.5% to finish the day at 2,796.92.

		<description><![CDATA[The Street ended one of its most volatile quarters, with positive economic reports and a temporary solution to the Greece debt crisis lifting the benchmarks to post their biggest four-day rally since September. The technology sector and energy sector lifted the mood further and investors are now hoping for a robust forthcoming earnings season. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) moved up 1.3% to settle at 12,414.34. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) gained 1.0% to close at 1,320.64. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index surged 1.2% to finish the day at 2,773.52.

		<description><![CDATA[We have maintained our Underperform recommendation on oil refiner and marketer Sunoco Inc (SUN). Lately, investors have been selling the stock for its weak fundamentals and tepid outlook. The disappointing first quarter results have added to this bearishness. Sunoco, which competes in the Oil Refining and Marketing industry with firms like Valero Energy Corp. (VLO) and Tesoro Corp. (TSO), currently has a Zacks #4 Rank (Sell rating) for the short run. In recent times, a number of issues have stalled the company’s stock price. Operational reliability problems and increased unscheduled downtime – that led to a dull first quarter in which the company lost $1.01 per share – have overshadowed its gains from successful restructuring initiatives over the last two years. We expect these concerns to act as a drag ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reports of a possible resolution to Greece’s debt crisis put the market on track for a finish in the green. Combined with mixed economic reports, this development helped benchmarks end their six-week losing streak. A decline in oil prices lifted the indices higher, but losses for the technology sector limited gains and the tech-heavy Nasdaq ended lower. Analysts also did not rule out a continuing bearish trend in the market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) moved above the psychological 12,000 level, gaining 0.4% to settle at 12,004.36. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) increased 0.3% and closed at 1,271.50. However, the tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index slipped 0.3% to finish the day at 2,616.48.

		<description><![CDATA[Valero Energy Corp’s (VLO) Port Arthur, Texas refinery, which has refining throughput capacity of 287,000 barrels per day (bpd), will be running at full steam from this weekend. Activity at the refinery had slowed since June 6 when the plant’s coking unit was badly damaged by lightning. This forced the closure of a crude unit at the refinery. Valero is currently in the process of replacing the damaged motor but expects the coking unit to return to operation after a compressor is repaired. San Antonio, Texas-based Valero Energy is the largest independent refiner and marketer of petroleum products in the U.S. It has 14 refineries located throughout the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean. Valero is also a leading ethanol producer with 10 plants in the Midwest. The company is also ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by David Fessler, Investment U’s Energy and Infrastructure Expert Tuesday, June 14, 2011 Are oil prices headed up or down? If Saudi Arabia has anything to say about it, quite possibly down. Over the past several months, the kingdom has been clandestinely raising production levels. It’s been undertaking this in advance of Wednesday’s OPEC meeting. It’s attempting to placate American, Chinese, and European oil consumers. According to an article in the Financial Times, the Saudis want to bring crude prices down to more “comfortable levels,” i.e. $80 to $90 per barrel. The FT says Saudi Arabia raised its May output by 200,000 bpd, and has plans to raise it another 200,000 to 300,000 bpd this month. That would peg its overall output above 9 million bpd for the first time ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Investor sentiment continued to remain bearish for the fourth straight trading day on Monday, as weak economic data dragged the indices to hit 2.5 months lows. Financials, energy and airline stocks dropped modest points and benchmarks may record their longest losing streak since 2002 if indices close in the red for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) declined 0.5% to settle at 12,089.96. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 shed 1.1% to close at 1,286.17. After losing 479.83 points over the last four trading days, the Dow has now posted its biggest four-day drop since May 2010. Meanwhile, the S&#38;P 500 closed below the 1,300 level for the first time since March 23, 2011. The Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 1.1% to finish the day at 2,702.56. On the New ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Wednesday, May 25, 2011 Due to escalating Latin American demand, refineries often can’t keep up with fuel consumption, so global refiners have been quietly boosting refined fuel output. According to one of the largest U.S. refiners, Valero Energy (NYSE: VLO), that’s especially true of the developing economies of both Mexico and Brazil. Brazil’s demand for refined fuels, such as ethanol, makes sense – what with a rapidly rising middle class that is making more car purchases, many of which run on gasoline, as well as a large number of flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs) that run on either gasoline or an 85 percent blend of ethanol. And as the world leader in ethanol production and exports, it comes as a bit of a surprise that Brazil ]]></description>

Meanwhile, Fed minutes and a positive earnings report from bellwether Dell added to the cheer. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 0.6% and settled at 12,560.18. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was up 0.9% to close at 1,340.68. The Nasdaq Composite Index inched up 1.1% to end the day at 2,815.00. On the New York Stock Exchange, AMEX and Nasdaq, consolidated volumes were 6.5 billion shares, well below the average volumes of 8.4 billion shares last year.

		<description><![CDATA[OUTLOOK Crude Oil The improving economic scene –- both here in the U.S. as well as worldwide –- and the continued unrest in producing countries had been the main driver of the oil rally that saw the commodity zoom past the $110 per barrel level last month. However, apprehensions about soaring U.S. crude stocks – currently at their highest level in two years –- and worries that China’s tightening monetary policy in response to inflationary pressures may bring down its growth momentum, have been weighing on investor sentiment, weakening oil prices to less than $100 a barrel. But far too many factors weigh on oil prices – from OPEC decisions and geostrategic tensions to the value of the U.S. dollar and seasonal variables – to definitively size up each one ]]></description>
