		<description><![CDATA[Energy and basic materials took the benchmarks modestly higher on Friday, snapping a three-day losing streak. 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.

		<description><![CDATA[Benchmarks struggled to find definite direction yesterday as the lack of news left them swinging between small gains and losses. By the closing bell, the energy sector had dented the S&#38;P 500, while investors’ apprehensions about Hewlett-Packard’s decision of merging its printing and personal computing businesses dragged down the Dow. However, tech shares boosted the Nasdaq into the positive zone. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) dropped 0.3% to settle at 13,124.62. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) edged down 0.2% to finish yesterday’s trading session at 1,402.89. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index was the only gainer among the other benchmarks and moved up by 0.04% to settle at 3,075.32. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) was down 2.9% and finished at 15.13. Total volumes on the New York ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this month, independent refiner Tesoro Corporation (TSO) announced its financial results for the third quarter 2011. Now that the analysts have had some time to ponder over the quarterly performance of Tesoro, they are weighing their estimate revisions. Below we cover the results of the recent earnings announcement, subsequent analyst estimate revisions and the Zacks ratings for the outlook. Earnings Review On November 2, 2011, Tesoro reported stellar third-quarter 2011 results, driven by higher throughput, improved margin environment and solid operational performance. Earnings per share (excluding special items) came in at $2.39, comfortably surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.83 and way above the year-ago adjusted profit of 51 cents. The company reported revenue of $8,101.0 million for the three-month period, up 52.3% from the prior-year figure of $5,320.0 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OUTLOOK Crude Oil Mounting worries about Europe&#8217;s debt crisis, a persistently weak U.S. jobs market and less-than-encouraging guidance from the Federal Reserve have been weighing on investor sentiment, weakening oil prices to around $85 a barrel. 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 added to the negative sentiment. These issues have stoked fears about the demand outlook for oil that has seen the commodity’s price plummet to 12-month lows earlier in the month. Incidentally, crude prices zoomed past the $110 per barrel level during the first half of the year. As per the latest release by the Energy Information Administration (EIA), which provides official energy statistics ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Markets lacked the conviction to bet big leading to a flat finish for the benchmarks on Monday. A choppy day of trading was initially spurred by hopes that the Fed chairman would announce another asset-buying plan on Friday, but lingering concerns about the domestic and global financial situation ensured the indices ended flat. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 0.3% to settle at 10,854.65. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) moved up 0.02% to close at 1,123.82, and 6 of its 10 industry groups registered gains. The Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 0.2% to finish the day at 2,345.38.

		<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.

While the technology and energy sectors chipped in to bolster the benchmarks, a smaller-than-expected decline in existing home sales also contributed to the upside movement. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was up 0.9% and settled at 12,190.01. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) closed at 1295.52, after inching 1.3% higher. The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 2.2% to finish at 2,687.26. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) slipped 10% to settle near 18.

The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) moved up 0.2% and closed at 1,343.60. The Nasdaq Composite Index finished the day at 2,823.31, after gaining 0.3%.

		<description><![CDATA[Markets benefited once again from commodities on Wednesday, as a rebound in that sector not only lifted the broader markets but dragged the indices out of the negative territory. 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. For every four stocks that gained on the NYSE, one stock was on the declining side. Commodities have been fluctuating for ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday, markets felt the pinch of disappointing quarterly results and the benchmarks slid a few points as investors feared profitability might drop over the coming quarters. Over the past couple of weeks, markets have remained upbeat, climbing to multi-year highs following robust corporate results. Additionally, a drop in crude prices weighed down the energy sector. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was the only gainer among the benchmarks as it edged up 0.2% to 12,807.51. The Standard &#38; poor 500 dropped 0.3% and the Nasdaq slipped 0.8% to settle at 1,356.62 and 12,807.51, respectively. After hitting its highest level in three years last week, the S&#38;P 500 has now declined for two-straight days. On the New York Stock Exchange, composite volumes were at 4.5 billion shares.

Surprisingly, these disappointing reports failed to sting the markets which moved to post more multi-year highs. Markets continued to reap benefits from the positive momentum, gained from the Federal Reserve’s vow to stimulate the economy. Also, positive earnings results chipped in to further strengthen the indices and overshadowed the disappointing data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 0.6% to settle at 12763.31 and recorded its highest close since May 20, 2008. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) achieved its highest level since June 9, 2008, at 1360.48, gaining 0.4%.

		<description><![CDATA[Investors chose to ride on the positives at home yet again and shrugged off the prolonged global worries as indices rose for the third straight day. Technology stocks drove the markets higher as Oracle posted upbeat results and reports of better-than-expected growth of US economy boosted benchmarks. Global concerns over the Japan crisis, unrest in the Middle East and euro-zone debt worries were overshadowed on Friday, but the volumes remained low suggesting investors’ apprehensions against betting big. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 0.4% to close at 12,220.59. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 gathered 0.3% and finished at 1,313.80, while the Nasdaq Composite Index ended at 2,743.06 after posting a gain of 0.2%. The rise came amidst light volumes and the consolidated volumes on the New York Stock Exchange ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by David Fessler, Energy and Infrastructure Expert Friday, August 27, 2010: Issue #1333 Despite boasting just 5% of the global population, the United States goes through 25% of the world’s oil every year. That startling statistic is no secret – and it’s entirely understandable. After all, much of it relates to Americans’ love affair with their automobiles – one that dates back well over 100 years. And our gas-dependent ways have only increased over the past 15 years or so with the increasing popularity of large, powerful cars, SUVs and trucks. But the recession hit the auto industry hard. Truck and SUV-loving consumers drifted away from dealerships in droves. And the recession has dragged gasoline prices down, too. Today, U.S. gasoline usage is still languishing and prices are trending lower. ]]></description>

The agency’s report further added that inventories of distillate fuel posted a higher-than-expected rise, while demand from refiners was above expectations. Crude Oil The federal government’s Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that crude inventories dropped by 1.8 million barrels for the week ending June 4, 2010, well above the analyst expectations. The decrease in oil stocks, the second in as many weeks, can be attributed to ramped-up refinery operations. At 361.4 million barrels, crude supplies are 200,000 barrels below the year-earlier level, but remain above the upper limit of the average for this time of the year.

Crude Oil The federal government’s Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that crude inventories dropped by 1.9 million barrels for the week ending May 28, 2010, well above analyst expectations. The decrease in crude stocks, the first in seven weeks, can be attributed to a decline in production and lower imports.

The increase in crude stocks, the 6th in as many weeks, can be attributed to rising imports.

		<description><![CDATA[OUTLOOK Crude Oil The improving economic scene, both here in the U.S. as well as worldwide, has been the main driver of the oil rally that saw the commodity breaching the $85 per barrel level earlier this month. However, in recent days, concerns about the European debt crisis and China’s growth outlook have renewed apprehensions about the global growth and energy demand. As a result, oil prices have slumped to a 3-month low. Additionally, high levels of product inventories (gasoline and distillate stocks remain above the upper boundary of the average range for this time of year), along with soaring commercial oil supplies, has further dragged down crude prices, in our view. But way too many factors weigh on oil prices &#8212; from OPEC decisions and geostrategic tensions to the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oil refiner and marketer Western Refining Inc. (WNR) reported better-than-expected first quarter results, helped by higher sales volumes. Its loss per share, excluding special items, came in at 35 cents, narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 47 cents. In the year-ago period, the Texas-based company earned 76 cents per share (not including one-time items). The main factors causing the year-over-year negative comparison reflects lower margins and throughput on the back of weak fuel demand and high inventories caused by the prolonged economic slowdown. Results were also dragged down by major turnaround work that was performed at El Paso and the planned maintenance at Gallup during the quarter. Revenue of $1.9 billion was up 40.0% from the first quarter 2009 level. Refining Segment Results Western’s refining segment experienced an operating ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Energy Department&#8217;s weekly inventory release showed a larger-than-expected climb in crude stockpiles, while distillate supplies posted a surprise build. Gasoline stocks, meanwhile, logged a sharp decline and refinery run-rates increased significantly from the previous week. Crude Oil The federal government’s Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that crude inventories expanded by 2 million barrels for the week ending Apr. 2, 2010, bigger than analyst expectations. The increase in crude stocks &#8212; the 10th in as many weeks &#8212; can be attributed to rising imports, partly offset by a large gain in refinery utilization. At 356.2 million barrels, crude supplies are 4.9 million barrels below the year-earlier level but remain above the upper limit of the average for this time of the year (depicted in the first EIA chart below). ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oil refiner and marketer Western Refining Inc. (WNR) reported better-than-expected fourth quarter results, helped by higher sales volumes. Its loss per share, excluding special items, came in at 58 cents, narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 65 cents. Western’s encouraging results are in contrast to that of larger rivals Tesoro Corp. (TSO) and Sunoco Inc. (SUN), both of which posted bigger-than-expected losses. In the year-ago period, the Texas-based company earned 49 cents per share. The main factors causing the year-over-year negative comparison reflects lower margins and throughput on the back of weak fuel demand and high inventories caused by the prolonged economic slowdown. However, revenue of $2.0 billion was up 18.3% from the fourth quarter 2008 level. Negative Surprise Trend With respect to earnings surprises, the stock has fluctuated ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Energy Department&#8217;s weekly inventory release showed a surprise climb in crude stockpiles, while distillate supplies posted a smaller-than-expected draw. The agency’s bearish report further added that refiners continued to cut production, and are currently operating at their lowest rate in two decades. This has instilled renewed doubts about the health of the U.S. economy, and pulled down oil prices to a seven-week low of around $71 per barrel. The only saving grace came in the form of gasoline supplies, which defied market expectations and fell from the week-ago period. The federal government’s Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported an unexpected 2.3 million barrels jump in crude inventories for the week ending Jan 29, 2010, against expectations of a drop.

In its release, the agency said that crude inventories rose by 3.7 million barrels for the week ending Jan. 8, much more than anticipated. The increase in crude stocks, the second in as many weeks, can be attributed to rising imports.

		<description><![CDATA[The federal government’s Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported an unexpected decline in crude stockpiles. However, the report also showed a larger-than-anticipated buildup in gasoline and distillate inventories amid renewed concerns about weak demand in the U.S., thereby more than offsetting the positive impact. In its release, the agency said that crude inventories, following two weeks of increases, fell by 3.8 million barrels for the week ending December 4, against market expectations of a buildup. The primary reason for the surprise drop was a fall in crude oil imports and slightly stronger refiner demand. Current crude oil stocks, at 336.1 million barrels, are 4.8% above the year-earlier level and remain above the upper limit of the average for this time of the year (depicted in the first EIA chart below).

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Energy Department&#8217;s weekly inventory release showed a surprise buildup in crude stockpiles. The agency’s bearish report further added that gasoline supplies rose much more than analysts projected, while refinery rates remained at historically low levels. The only saving grace came in the form of distillates, whose stocks were down more than expected. The federal government’s Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported a 2.1 million barrel rise in crude inventories for the week ending November 27, as against analyst expectations of a drawdown. The substantial increase in stockpiles can be attributed to curtailed refinery operations and improved domestic production, partially offset by reduction in crude oil imports.

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Energy Department&#8217;s weekly inventory release showed a smaller-than-expected build in crude stockpiles, a surprise drop in distillates and improvement in refinery run-rates. However, this piece of positive data was somewhat tempered by reports of increases in gasoline supplies. In its release, the agency said that crude inventories rose by approximately 1.0 million barrels for the week ending November 20, lower than analysts&#8217; expectations. The modest increase can be attributed to the turnaround in imports and Gulf of Mexico output following disruptions caused by Tropical Storm Ida. Current crude oil stocks, at 337.8 million barrels, are 6.1% above the year-earlier level and remain above the upper limit of the average for this time of the year (depicted in the first EIA chart below). Supplies of gasoline rose by 1.0 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oil refiner and marketer Western Refining Inc. (WNR) reported weaker-than-expected third quarter results, pulled down by lower margins and throughput on the back of weak fuel demand and high inventories caused by the prolonged economic slowdown. This was partially offset by lower costs and expenses. Its loss per share came in at 5 cents, wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 3 cents. In the year-ago period, the Texas-based company earned $1.60 per share. Revenues were down 40.1% year over year to $1.9 billion. Western follows larger rivals Valero Energy Corp. (VLO) and Sunoco Inc. (SUN) that also posted bigger-than-expected losses. Refining Segment Results Western’s refining segment experienced a significant decline in operating income (operating income of $22.2 million vs. $180.8 million in the year-earlier quarter), adversely impacted by weak ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, the U.S. Energy Department&#8217;s weekly inventory release showed a less-than-expected build in crude stockpiles. However, the headline news was centered on a sharp drop in gasoline stocks and refinery utilization that pushed oil prices to a fresh 2009 peak and lifted energy stocks. The federal government’s Energy Information Administration [EIA] reported a 400,000 barrels rise in crude inventories for the week ending October 9, much less than analyst expectations. The modest increase can be attributed to scaled back operations by the refiners (prompted by weak profit margins) even as imports fell. This follows last week’s report, which showed an unexpected rise in oil supply figures, against consensus forecast of a buildup. Current crude oil stocks, at 337.8 million barrels, are 9.6% above the year-earlier level and remain above the ]]></description>

However, the report also showed a larger-than-anticipated buildup in gasoline and distillate inventories, thereby offsetting the positive impact. In its release, the agency said that crude inventories fell by 1 million barrels for the week ending October 2, against market expectations of a buildup. The primary reason for the surprise drop was a fall in crude oil imports and stronger refiner demand. This is in contrast to the previous week’s report, when U.S. commercial crude oil stocks rose more than expected on slower demand. Current crude oil stocks, at 337.4 million barrels, are 11.5% above the year-earlier level and remain above the upper limit of the average for this time of the year (depicted in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, the U.S. Energy Department&#8217;s weekly inventory release showed a sharp drop in crude stockpiles. However, this piece of positive data was somewhat tempered by reports of increases in refined product supplies like gasoline and distillate fuels. The federal government’s Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported a 4.7 million barrels drop in crude inventories for the week ending September 11, far more than analyst expectations. This is the second successive week in which the crude drawdown has been more than originally anticipated. Major contributing factor to the inventory drop was a fall in crude oil imports. Current crude oil stocks, at 332.8 million barrels, are 14.1% above the year-earlier level and remain above the upper limit of the average for this time of the year (depicted in the first EIA chart ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tony Daltorio, The Investment U Research Team Quite simply, this is not a good time to be in the business of refining oil in the United States. The obvious reason for this is the continuing recession which has led to lower demand for gasoline and other refined products. With the summer driving season past the halfway point, having the word ’staycation’ become commonplace is not good news for the refiners. But that’s not all. And it goes well beyond simple economic downturn. There are other factors at work. And unfortunately, many have escaped the notice of many investors and much of Wall Street. While everyone was focused on the sharp rise recently of the price of WTI crude oil, other things have been conspiring against domestic refiners of all sorts. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Western Refining Inc. (WNR) has been on a roll for the last month, with its share price almost doubling in value. The current-year estimate has been on the move as well, climbing higher as crude prices have continued to drop. Company Description Western Refining, Inc., through its subsidiaries, operates as in independent crude oil refiner and marketer of refined products. The company has a market cap of $779 million. With the price of crude plummeting from its summer high, refiners have benefited handsomely as the &#8220;crack&#8221; spread, the difference in the cost of a barrel of oil and the selling price of a gallon of gasoline, has expanded considerably. This dynamic showed up in Western Refining&#8217;s solid third-quarter results, reported on Nov 5. Third-Quarter Results Net income was up big ]]></description>
