Takes A Licking, Keeps On Ticking

Despite the volatile market and horrible economy one company appear to be somewhat bullet proof. By that we mean, despite downgrades and downward pressure the stock is holding strong.

How did they do it?

They’re also a refiner, reminds Pete Najarian. They make diesel and that’s very desirable all over the world.
