Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Max Macaluso, Ph.D.]

  Arena Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ARNA  ) �and�VIVUS� (NASDAQ: VVUS  ) �both had obesity drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2012, and�are two of the most contentious stocks on the market today. The high rates of obesity in America underscore the potential opportunities these companies have, but investors may not completely understand how physicians actually treat this disease. For instance, are medications really a necessary part of treatment? Are lifestyle changes more important, and can obesity be cured?

• [By Brian Orelli]

  The AMA's decision should shed light on the issue, stressing treatment. But I continue to think it's going to take time before doctors have enough experience prescribing Qsymia and Arena Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ARNA  ) and Eisai's Belviq that they're prescribing them to a majority of their obese patients. Clinical trial data is nice, but there's no substitute for real-life experience on a few select patients.

  I still think the emerging markets may be the surprise in 2014 as the technical outlook has improved but a bottom has not yet been confirmed. The more active investor should consider investing in several index-tracking ETFs, but in volatile areas, like the emerging markets, the percentage commitment should be kept low. One should consider not only the large-cap S&P 500 but also the small-cap sectors like iShares S&P 600 Small-Cap (IJR), which I recommended last Wednesday.

  In Thursday's ETF analysis, evidence is presented that supports increasing demand for assets that get a tailwind from a weak U.S. dollar, including emerging markets (EEM) and foreign stocks (EFA). Casting a wider economic net, our market model told us to start buying stocks last week even with the threat of a U.S. default. Wednesday, we continued with our incremental allocation shifts by adding some exposure to the energy sector. Thursday, we sat tight holding long positions in small caps (IJR), Europe (FEZ), emerging markets and technology (QQQ). The upper bounds of the bullish S&P 500 trend channel shown below may offer some resistance to the market's near vertical ascent.

  One of the most famous scenes in the cult classic, the Graduate, was when Mr. McGuire�took Dustin Hoffman�� character aside and said�"Ben, I want to say one word to you, just one word: Plastics"; but what about the Berry Plastics Group Inc (NYSE: BERY) and its performance verses that of the�iShares S&P 500 Index ETF (NYSEARCA: IVV), iShares Russell Midcap Index Fund ETF (NYSEARCA: IWR) and iShares S&P SmallCap 600 Index ETF (NYSEARCA: IJR)? I should mention that plastics and the Berry Plastics Group was not the place to be yesterday as the stock took a tumble on reduced guidance.
