Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Sean Williams]

  One of today's FDA-approved treatments is�Vertex Pharmaceuticals' (NASDAQ: VRTX  ) Incivek, which is an oral medication administered with ribavirin and a type of interferon called�peginterferon alfa. While relatively effective, interferon can cause lingering flu-like symptoms in patients for up to 48 weeks, which can make the side-effects of the medication as unpleasant as the chronic HCV disease is itself.

  The auction news isn't good for investors in Brazil's Petrobras (PBR), but it could well be a boon for China and Chinese oil companies such as PetroChina (PTR) and CNOOC (CEO).

• [By Jonathan Yates]

  As to be expected, the share price has drifted down from the peak after the bullish activity. But long term investors should take note of the resources owned by Octagon 88. Canadian energy assets have drawn "Big Oil" from around the world such as CNOOC (NYSE: CEO) and Chevron (NYSE: CVX). In addition, Suncor Energy (NYSE: SU), a major oil firm based in Canada, has Warren Buffett gobbling up its shares.
