stratasys was started in 1988 and has been growing ever since. we started a separate business unit called red eye which is a service that can produce 3-d printed parts for those who don't own a 3-d printer. we also acquired solid scape of merrimack, new hampshire, which helps jewelry designers and dental markets adopt 3-d solutions. last year we merged with brooklyn based maker bot, a 3-d printing company whose user friendly products are designed for prosumers and entrepreneurs with basic technical skills. the growth of our business has jhe growth of our business has when magician chris miles was performing at events with his band, he used a popular credit card reader to process payments when he sold his cds. the credit card reader plugged into his laptop but he found that the reader tended to swivel or spin when it was used instead of remaining stable. that made it sometimes difficult to use. borrowing from his children's lego pieces, chris built an accessory that kept the card stable. with the successful design, chris wanted to bring his new in

. >> tomorrow we have an exclusive interview with stratasys ceo. >>> it has been a rough earning internet season for facebook, netflix, twitter, all develops more than 6% the day after earnings. since the initial drop amazon and netflix have gained some back. >> this has been a very -- it's been a leadership sector. no doubt about it. they appreciated other the last couple years, disregarding valuation. so to me you have a situation here where i think the rally is long in the tooth in general. there is sometimes seemingly decent news. there was nothing wrong with a facebook quarter, and i think a lot of the news they gave about guidance -- >> that's not a problem? >> you know why? they gave $80 billion in market cap this year. who cares, go bill a company for the next 20 years. if you're an investor and you're disappointed that the stock was down -- >> would you buy facebook? >> no. but that's what zuckerberg and his team should be doing. they're just reacting and i think there is another way. if they fill in that earnings gab, that's where i buy it again. >> facebook, i agree with what y

you remember stratasys, i know i was one of the first guys to talk about 3-d printing on tv. this is a stock i recommended to subscribers at 41 bucks. the fourth time i mentioned it on this show. there are goofy ideas when it comes to 3-d printing. it is not play-doh, it is serious revolutionary technology. already used in architecture and automobile manufacturing, commercial, production, the medical industry, they made a smart acquisition and about a year ago they have solid concepts and harvests, most recently revenues are fantastic, up 67% in the most recent period. obviously it's been hit, but that's okay. on the retail side, the company entered a deal through home depot, also ups stores as well. you know, i feel like this is going to be the big move but the big money is from manufacturing. the street's modeled for 25% annual growth over the next several years. i think it's way, way too low. i will caution, it's a volatile stock. the pros are betting for it to go down. i like it short-term, long-term, i'm going to add the caveat it's very volatile. if you're a trader 120,

go back to the beginning of stratasys which is really started like i said in '88. we've shipped about 50% of our business overseas and we continue to do that at this point in time. it's been a big piece of our business. so, you know, if you look at areas that we're concerned about or could be concerned about, would be any export laws that would restrict the -- this technology from moving out from the u.s. i mean, if you look at the bulk of our business, we manufacture in new hampshire, we manufacture in new york, and we manufacture in minnesota. and so all these products are being exported. so anything that would harm that export -- >> at this point there is no problem with that area. that's not a barrier yet. >> there's been some discussion about that. since i had the opportunity to address the question. >> we want to be watchful for that. that's the purpose of the hearing, to make sure we know those things ahead of time. >> yep. mr. wejmarshausen. i'm sorry. >> well, we are not really concerned about things that are currently in place, but there '2 might be somet
