Coorelation between crude and HES

Discussion in 'Commodity Futures' started by reno4nook, Jan 20, 2007.

  1. I recently read that the stock HES (Hess Corporation) mirrors the price movements of oil closer than any other stock..

    Does anyone here have trading experience with this to confirm?

    Any ideas what the correlation factor might be?
