At these PRICES a person can't go wrong. We all know oil and fuel will go back up. Take a small stake now and watch it grow.

FWIW
Company Highlight: 8/23/08
Frontier Oil Corp is an independent energy engaged in crude oil refining and wholesale marketing of refined petroleum products. The company has grown profits and dividends in excess of 30% annually over the past five years earning a 25%+ return on equity. While profits in 2008 will decline, that appears well reflected in the price of FTO’s stock. Nevertheless, earnings should recover over the coming years as a result of:


<!--[if !supportLists]-->(1) <!--[endif]-->the company’s disproportionate exposure to diesel fuel which has sustained much higher margins than gasoline,


<!--[if !supportLists]-->(2) <!--[endif]-->its ability to process heavier, less expensive types of crude oil while still producing higher value added refined products,


<!--[if !supportLists]-->(3) <!--[endif]-->an aggressive capital expenditure program.


FTO is rated A by Value Line, has a modest 13% debt to equity ratio and its stock yields .8%

I am buying more and more of this stock at the $18-19 range. The big reports all listed HOLD ratings on the stock, but it's made me lots of $ in the past.

This time of year is particularly bad for refineries, mostly due to hurricane season. The great part about FTO is that their refineries are nowhere near the storm areas. My DD shows that only one of those two refineries gets crude product from a G.O.M. pipeline. So while that pipeline is vulnerable to storm shutdown, the refinery is back up to full output as soon as the pipeline is turned back on. That's my understanding of the situation.

Let's face it...with a 6.9 P/E ratio, how can this be anything but a good buy?

-mb

I think many brokers are pushing it... why?

A freind told me a couple weeks ago... buy.. hot tip

Was advised just recently that this was to rise!
NOT YET!
Watch it to bottom
When it does, then OFF it goes!

Thanks, up 7.52% today alone,

good future.

FTO, i believe, is a buy right now in my book. I haven't kept up with this stock, so please do your DD, but this is one of the more volatile oil companies on the market. They are pretty independent with their supply line and distribution. This stock will perform with the industry accept at a more volatile rate. I am not sure if you're looking into investment or trading, but trading is awesome right now, the stock has hit its low and ready to bounce, look for the bounce in RSI and watch money flow comes in under the CMF. The chart seems to be resetting, i expect it to settle around 29.5 before making its next move. Good luck! This is a reply to your PM.

The FTO Annual Report mentions Heavy Oil,

lots of Canadian and domestic Heavy Oil supplied to its two big refineries. I bet some new technology that could make refining heavy oil cheaper and more profitable would be worth looking into at the FTO laboratories. Has anyone heard that is happening now at FTO labs?

Make mine an even dozen posts:

What's new with Frontier? Any new technology to help with refining crude oil? Look forward to finding out what's going on here.

Refiners May Lose Some Drive This Summer
Caris & Co.

WITH DOMESTIC MONETARY POLICY continuing to hold more sway than oil market fundamentals in determining the price of oil, we believe that continued economic and inflationary uncertainty will result in Nymex WTI oil trading in the $90-to-$110 per-barrel range this year, ahead of our previous 2008 forecast of $72 per barrel.

With pump prices set to hit new record highs this summer on the back of record oil prices and an increased likelihood of recession, we forecast that domestic gasoline demand will contract this year, following a modest expansion last year. While we expect a seasonal expansion in margins later this spring as we head into the summer driving season, it will be more modest than realized in 2007 and second-half 2008 margins will hinge on oil price trends, refinery utilization levels and the economy.

As such, we are downgrading the shares of Valero Energy to Average from Above Average and Frontier Oil, Holly, Sunoco and Tesoro to Below Average from Above Average.

We are reducing the rating on Western Refining from Average to Below Average.

We retain our Buy rating and our $34 price target on the shares of Alon USA Energy.

At this juncture, we expected that domestic monetary policy, the weak dollar and inflation fears to drive the price of oil, and not fundamentals. As such, we are boosting our 2008 oil price (Nymex WTI) forecast to $95 per barrel from $72 per barrel. We estimate that Nymex WTI grade crude oil will average $85 per barrel in 2009.

While yesterday's announcement by the Federal Reserve of a program designed to enable banks and dealers to borrow up to $200 billion of Treasuries, while pledging a variety of mortgaged-backed securities as collateral, did result in some strength in the dollar and pressured the price of oil briefly, the course of oil reversed itself as the day progressed. Further interest-rate cuts are likely to keep pressure on the dollar and thus the price of oil.

Assuming an oil price in the $95-$110 per-barrel range, we expect that gasoline prices this summer will set record highs -- from $4 per gallon on the more populous areas on the West and East coasts to roughly $3.50 per gallon across the balance of the country. This past week, the average U.S. gasoline price was $3.227 per gallon, up from $2.96 per gallon last month and $2.54 per gallon a year ago. Hurricane-induced refinery outages, such as those experienced in the summer of 2005, would place additional upward pressure on gasoline prices.

As a consequence of our revised oil price, and its impact on pump prices this summer, combined with clear signs of weaker domestic economic growth, we are cutting our projection for gasoline-demand growth to negative 0.2% from positive 0.5% this year. As such, we now forecast that total domestic fuel consumption will drop by 80,000 barrels per day from the 2007 level. Taking into account an increase in ethanol use of 130,000 barrels per day, we estimate that U.S. petroleum demand will drop by 210,000 barrels per day.

oversold with a potential triple bottom on the daily charts in the iBox.

Breakout time today!

Looks like the 50% retracement area has held...

Probably going down more as it's not oversold and in a short-term downtrend. I don't see support on the daily charts until 40.32--39.54

I see it down, down, down. $.09 today. Want me to continue to watch?

Did you every buy any?

FTO headed back to the 50% retracement level on the daily charts.

DYNI
watch it!

I used to own this in the mid 90's when the parent company of the Cheyenne refinery was Wainoco Oil (WOL) and was $4 per share. Man, I wish I had those shares back. e/

man i did a business presentation on this company last year. Great investment. I dont own any shares of it, but i do recommend it to everyone. Their consistent supply of heavy crude will be good for the future. The annual report has all these informations, fundamentals and charts look great also. It is one of the fastest growing in its industry. GLTA
