Thesis:

Recent estimates by Goldman put this year's earnings at like 6x the current price. Crack spreads will begin to ease.

I completely disagree

The dollar is materially broken out the upside which is taking the wind out of oil, which means crack spreads should widen out which benefits Valero. Today it has a PE of 7.32 it is very very cheap!

nope

i think this forecast is all but kaput
