Motley Fool sees value in VeraSun Energy, as stock hits 52-week low

In South Dakota, VeraSun Energy’s stock has hit a series of 52-week lows, but the Motley Fool sees value in VSE. In a report, the Fool identified a 113 percent increase in quarterly sales, a 50 percent drop in overhead expenses per gallon, and a superior financing strategy that left the company with more cash than any of its cash-strapped rivals such as Aventine Renewable Energy or Pacific Ethanol.  The Fool also pointed to Monsanto’s projection that corn yields would double by 2030.
