Generally speaking based on a 1-year chart HES is basically in the center of it's range at the momemt. I would like to hear a case (both sides) about HES for the next year and the beyond.

Here's my case:

I think HES is higher one year from now, and much higher in a five year chart if diesel engines become more prevailant as they seem they will be. Why? Alternative fuel solutions remain mini-pipe dreams for the most part, and now many in the auto industry are seeing that diesel which already has a mass delivery system in place is the most reliable and sound path to pursue for vehilces at all levels.


THere are seveal diesel plays too that I am interested in, but I'll save that for their respective message boards. HES has a relaible diesel refinary that is very profitable and easy for them to expand upon. If I understand the refining portion properly 62% of the cost for diesel the consumer pays is the crude portion, so crude of course is key in its pricing, but with demand potentially higher for diesel, I feel HES is in the cat-bird seat.

Ok, who's next to make their case?
