Oil May Look Placid On The Surface – But It’s Roiling Underneath

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:12:54 GMT

Keeping up with crude oil is a bit of a migraine these days. It's an essential task, of course. Gasoline, diesel and kerosene play a double-faced role in our modern world. When we are ahead of the curve, they grease the wheels of the grand machine, allowing people and goods to freely seek their best markets.[More...]

Biggest Declines Among S&P

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 21:05:02 GMT

The following is a list of the S&P 500 firms where the analysts have been cutting their expectations for the current fiscal year the most over the last month. Most likely these firms reported disappointing earnings or gave negative guidance on their conference calls. Historically, you have not wanted to be invested in companies where the analysts who follow them most closely see the earnings prospects diminishing. Also, estimates in motion tend to remain in motion. The first bit of bad news is rarely the last (the cockroach theory). This means that the current expectations, even though down from last month, are probably still to high for these firms. To weed out anomalies, only those firms that are currently expected to earn more than $0.50 in 2009 are included and only those firms where there are a minimum of three estimates in the system. If you have these stocks in your portfolio, you might want to reconsider[More...]

Sunoco Swings To A Loss

Mon, 10 Aug 2009 14:22:38 GMT

Recently, Sunoco Inc. (SUN) reported weaker-than-expected second-quarter results, as rising crude oil prices and weak demand for gasoline and diesel pulled down its refining margins. Loss per share, excluding special items, came in at 27 cents, significantly below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a penny per share in profits. ? In the year-ago period, the Pennsylvania-based marketer of petroleum products earned 52 cents per share. Revenue was down 51% year-over-year to $7.5 billion. Refining & Supply ? The Refining & Supply segment lost $77 million during the quarter, as against a profit of $27 million in the year-earlier period, mainly on account of lower realized margins and lower production volumes. Realized margin averaged $3.65 per barrel, down 48% from the second quarter of[More...]

Two Big Reasons To Dump Your Oil Refinery

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 18:34:06 GMT

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[More...]

Gasoline Gets More Expensive

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 17:19:50 GMT

Monday marks the 48th day in a row that gasoline prices have risen, even as demand for gas remains weak. This streak matches a record for this decade as oil has increased rapidly from its lows in conjunction with the U.S. dollar’s drop in value. Because oil is priced in U.S. dollars, the rise in prices has not been as severe for buyers using non-U.S. currency. On Monday, crude oil sold off nearly 3% as the dollar strengthened and equity markets around the world dropped. Opinions among analysts very greatly, but it appears that demand has not been a primary driver of the gains in oil and gasoline prices, at least not in comparison to the decline of the dollar. This could be a scary prospect as the markets are hoping to see the green shoots develop into a full blow consumer driven recovery. Each dollar that is spent at the gas station obviously lowers consumers ability and willingness to spend it elsewhere. Industry analyst[More...]
