CRACK HAS GONE PARABOLIC

“The Fly” is preparing for EXTREME grandeur. I am not talking about your regular run of the mill caviar and champagne dinner party extravaganza. I am talking about making so much money, that your arm involuntarily punches random people in the face spectacular. My position is so potent, so concentrated, I emanate electricity, shocking anyone who comes within 40 yards of my domain.

Yes, it’s true, “The Fly” steps out of his car and pisses on yours at red lights and he drops anvils on your trailer park, from his space rocket.

I stepped out today in search of fantasy and all I got was a lesson in non-fiction. The simple facts are this:

1. You cannot compete with me on any level.
2. Your analysis is made for retarded midgets with small arms, like dinosaurs.
3. I am several centuries ahead of you in cognitive development.

While you deviants walk the Earth in search of herpes, “The Fly” is checkmating you, through iron stake to the skull.

In closing, crack spreads are up another 6.5% today, now approaching $29. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE WORTH DISCUSSING. Stocks like WNR, VLO, ALJ, HOC, DK, TSO and CVI are poised to move higher, lighting short sellers on fire with refined kerosene.

    “I know what you’re thinking: ‘Did he fire six shots, or only five?’ Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I’ve kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky?’ Well do ya, punk?

      I will sleep in the belly of a moose that I kill and evicerate with my bare fuckin hands, with just my nose poking out for air. Then after a few hours of peaceful slumber, when it starts getting a bit cold in there, I’ll eat it from the inside. The whole thing! Then I’ll eat 11 egg yolks just to add to the shit stink. Only then will I be ready for battle. See you in the morning. We have a lot of poodles to teach, heh Raule? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb8C7dxTGRM

        TSO actually had a takeover offer at $65 that was turned down.

          But the danger is that spreads are peaking or they won’t be maintained for longer than a short period of time. If they continue and stabilize near these levels, it will be an earnings bonanza for as long as the large spread exists. But they will eventually narrow. They always do.

            Scott,

            I know no one wants to believe that Widest Crack Ever is here to stay, but with Brent-WTI spread and refineries down in Japan, why can’t these crack spreads sustain themselves?

            Further upset in international refineries (looking at you middle east & africa) would spread it further.

            The downside risks: demand destruction or oversupply of refined product since everyone with a refinery is getting sweaty balls keeping them at full capacity given the current crack spread, and jobless Joe Sixpack is rethinking that cross-country road trip due to gas prices.

    1. Anal Diameter. The larger the diameter of the anus, the easier it is to receive a raping. I’m serious!

    2. from Wikipedia, the Site That Archives All of Man’s Knowledge: Crack spread is a term used in the oil industry and futures trading for the differential between the price of crude oil and petroleum products extracted from it – that is, the profit margin that an oil refinery can expect to make by “cracking” crude oil (breaking its long-chain hydrocarbons into useful shorter-chain petroleum products).

    In the futures markets, the “crack spread” is a specific spread trade involving simultaneously buying and selling contracts in crude oil and one or more derivative products, typically gasoline and heating oil. Oil refineries may trade a crack spread to hedge the price risk of their operations, while speculators attempt to profit from a change in the oil/gasoline price differential.

    So in addition to the Brent-WTI spread, is low refiner capacity utilization what’s driving cracks through the roof right now? And WNR is running at near 100% capacity, no? Sounds like a WNR WNR CHICKEN CAVIAR DINNER.

    The best thing about the lord Is that he uses imperfect
    people to get his work done. The market feels like it may
    be pulling back a bit and will investors start to move into
    Inflation stocks, or is this another head fake or a short pause of
    profit taking I wish I knew. Looking at an inflation play what about ETF
    Symbol corn?

    as best i can tell, the refiner trade is back on. WRN and MRO are what i own. I own MRO so I won’t have to call the refiner top. i own WNR so i can call the refiner top.

    two questions:

    1) how does the WTI – Brent spread affect the Crack Spread (not the anal one)?

    2) how do current capacity utilization levels affect the Crack Spread (again, not anal diameter)?
