Pop & Drop
Following are the day’s biggest winners and losers. Find out why shares of Hess and GameStop popped while Verizon and Coca-Cola dropped.

POPS (stocks that jumped higher)

Las Vegas Sands (LVS) popped 7%. The casino operator moved for no clear reason. – I think the shorts got squeezed, says Pete Najarian.


Hybrids.
As the wait for a new Toyota Prius approaches 4 months, car buyers are finding that used Priuses on eBay cost more than brand new ones.

Barclay's PLC (BCS) popped 4%. The British Bank surged after announcing it will raise $7.8 billion to bolster financial position. – Looks like a classic relief rally to me, says Guy Adami.

Hess Corp. (HES) popped 2%. FBR Capital Markets raised its earnings target for the company by 25% due to the higher price of crude oil. – If oil comes down the integrated names could move up, speculates Joe Terranova.

Landry's Restaurants (LNY) popped 18%. The restaurant operator allowed CEO Tilman J. Fertitta to buy out the company and take it private. – It’s a hard space in this economy, says Jeff Macke.

GameStop Corp. (GME) popped 8%. The videogame retailer surged after Goldman upgraded its stock to 'Neutral' from 'Sell'.

Pier 1 (PIR) popped 7%. The home furnishings retailer moved up after Cost Plus rejected their unsolicited buyout offer.

DROPS (stocks that slid lower)

Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T) both dropped. UBS downgraded both carriers over concerns that the slowing US economy will hurt the wireless business. – I think $34 is support in AT&T, says Guy Adami.

Coca-Cola (KO) dropped 3%. Investors feared rising plastic costs could hurt the margins of this soft-drink maker. It’s near a 52-week low, adds Joe Terranova.

Hershey (HSY) dropped 7%. Speculation that Hershey's majority owner has no interest in selling the company sent shares lower. – It’s a bitter-sweet story, exclaims Jeff Macke. Stay away.

Republic Services (RSG) dropped 7%. Investors took profits following Friday's announcement of a merger with Allied Waste. – This stock worries me, says Pete Najarian.
