On CAPS, 96% of the 775 members who have rated HollyFrontier believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Just yesterday, one of those bulls, All-Star nonzerosum, tapped HollyFrontier as one half of a particularly potent refining play:

The bet here is that the WTI spreads will hold. I think the changes in US production are structural and will stay for several years. [Western Refining] and [HollyFrontier] have locations that leverage that spread.

If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite its five-star rating, HollyFrontier may not be your top choice.
