10 Best Logistics Stocks To Own For 2014

A FINRA arbitration panel just awarded ex-Morgan Stanley advisor Vincent Romano $525,000 related to his claim of being unfairly terminated for running for a seat in the Illinois House of Representatives. He argued that Morgan Stanley had political motives in keeping the reform-minded advisor out of office.

Morgan Stanley (MS) says such a claim is “unfounded,” maintaining that it terminated Romano for breaking rules associated with outside business activities. “We believe the firm’s instructions were clear, and respectfully disagree with the panel’s conclusion," the firm said in a statement. (The advisor, who had worked for the wirehouse for roughly eight years, did not win his November 2012 election.)

Financial services organizations have been encouraging advisors to jump into politics. The Financial Services Institute, for instance, asked Ohio representative and independent advisor Heather Bishoff to lead a session on what’s involved in the decision-making and logistics of running for office at its September 2013 national conference.

With the U.S. dollar remaining below the 98-yen level amid concerns about the health of China's largest banks, some currency-sensitive shares extended their losses after driving the Nikkei Average down 2% in the previous session.

  One of the biggest players in HIV therapy is actually a joint venture between Pfizer (NYSE: PFE  ) �and GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK  ) �called Viiv Healthcare. Viiv Healthcare developed lamivudine and zidovudine, two of the most commonly used drugs for HIV therapy and part of multiple drug cocktails: Combivir, �Zeffix, Epirvir, and Trizivir to name a few. In total, ViiV has 11 marketed HIV drugs that all have a similar mechanism of action, that is, attacking aspects of the HIV virus. Abbott Laboratories (NYSE: ABT  ) is a another significant player in this market with their lopinavir and ritonavir combination drug, Kaletra patented through 2016. Kaletra sales generated $763 million in Q1-Q3 2012 which was down from $882 million in 2011, due to the quadrupling in price of ritonavir.

  I went out on a limb last week, and now it's time to see how that decision played out.

  I predicted that Clean Energy Fuels (NASDAQ: CLNE  ) would close higher on the week. The provider of natural gas fueling solutions for transportation has been posting narrowing losses, and Wall Street was eyeing a 35% surge in revenue. The company was a solid report. Revenue came in a little light, but bottom-line results improved nicely. Shares of Clean Energy Fuels moved slightly higher on the week. I was right. I predicted that the tech-heavy Nasdaq would outperform the Dow Jones Industrial Average. (DJINDICES: ^DJI  ) . This has been a tricky call lately, so how did it play out this time? Well, the market had a strong run this week, fueled be encouraging economic news. Secondary stocks led the way, with the Nasdaq soaring 1.7% on the week. The Dow managed to close just 1% higher. I was right. My final call was for Compass Diversified Holdings (NYSE: CODI  ) to beat Wall Street's quarterly profit target. The investor in several middle-market companies has been posting blowout quarterly results over the past year, and I was banking on seeing the trend continue. Analysts were looking for a profit of $0.36 a share during the quarter, but Compass Diversified failed to beat the prognosticators. I was wrong.

  Two out of three? I'll take it. That makes me eight of nine over the past three weeks.
