I think the “zero target” that Ackman presented initially is impossible unless the government intervenes and shuts this company down. Icahn, on the other hand, won’t confirm more »

Still, within the industry there are some refiners like Alon USA Energy (NYSE: ALJ) which have high debt loads, low ROI, and should be avoided. Others like HollyFrontier Corp.

    By Phil Cutajar - June 12, 2012 | Tickers: CVX, CVI, XOM, HFC, VLO

    Every couple of months I run my value screener to look for new value opportunities. More often than not I eliminate the companies on the list after I do deeper analysis.
