Q: I would like your opinion on Tesoro specifically, though more generally on the sector. My overall thesis is that these fuel refiners and marketers are being unfairly lumped into the oil sector in general and that overall there is little reason to think that they should suffer from lower oil prices. Do you agree or am I missing something? Thanks very much.
