Lewis also went on to say that the drop was led by the "bears baring their teeth." 3D Systems has gain over 250% in the last year, reaching a high of $71.98.
Hess Corporation (HES)
Hess Corporation is exploding today, up 6.08% at $62.48. The energy company saw its shares climb higher after news that it was selling U.S. terminal network and shut down its New Jersey refinery. These two moves will complete the company's exit from the refining business and help continue its shift toward exploration and production. Furthermore, Elliott Associates LP and one of its affiliates plan to ask federal regulators for permission to buy a major stake in the company and appears to be seeking board seats for the annual meeting in May. The good news today helped to push Hess near its 52-week high of $67.86.
