This older article (click here for link) may put their recruiting practices into context.

Bought any Diesel lately?

The national average diesel price rose to $2.86 per gallon during the past week. Idaho's and Nevada's average diesel price moved up to $2.94, Washington's climbed to $2.97, and California's increased to $3.13.

I think you have to look across the valley. The news that the economy is slowing is everywhere. When anything is that obvious, it is probably too late to profit from it. Since the Fed apparently couldn't care less about the dollar, they have plenty of room to cut the Fed Funds rate and/or flood in liquidity to create the next bubble. When you got a guy like Black Hawk Ben in the Fed who said he will throw money from a helicopter on any sign of deflation, any dip is a buying opportunity. Be long or be wrong (until the world figures out we're shipping them worthless green dyed paper for their stuff).

Big profits there. Refiners are planning to up capacity big time. Demand growth has been double that of gasoline.
