Best Healthcare Technology Stocks To Watch For 2014

May marked an important month for U.S. markets this year. When investors learned of the Federal Reserve's intention to taper their bond buying, Treasury yields exploded higher. This caused many market participants and analysts to panic over what kind of effect this might have on the housing market and overall economy. Concern escalated until it reached a fever pitch in September, when the 10-year yield spiked briefly over 3%, and news outlets everywhere flooded the public with predictions of how much higher interest rates were about to go.

The milestone was short-lived, however, when the 10-year yield fell back below the 3% threshold the very same day, and has been slowly declining ever since. With rates reaching 2.5% just last week, and the Federal Reserve assuring investors that tapering of QE will not happen until next year, talk of higher interests rates has almost disappeared from investment circles. This complacency could be rattled again soon, though, if bonds are unable to rally past important resistance ahead.

It's the same story at Teck Resources (NYSE: TCK  ) , which is also reducing its capital expenditures over the next two years. Teck is cutting $150 million out of its original $2 billion capex budget. Meanwhile, the company is targeting to keep its sustaining capex to $500 million next year.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Dan Caplinger]

  Yet Valero and its peers have seen new challenges pop up recently. Price spreads between U.S. West Texas intermediate and European Brent crude oil have narrowed considerably in April, threatening those wide margins. That's especially bad news for HollyFrontier (NYSE: HFC  ) , Tesoro (NYSE: TSO  ) , and Valero, whose western-U.S. exposure has helped those companies benefit the most from cheap mid-continent crude supplies. Phillips 66's recent deal to transport U.S. crude by rail may look a lot less lucrative if spreads narrow further, and Valero and the rest of the industry will inevitably see profits shrink if the financial incentive to export gasoline gets smaller.

  Is Suntech still alive?
  Rumors swirled this week that Suntech Power (NYSE: STP  ) would be acquired by Warren Buffett's subsidiary MidAmerican Energy. Suntech has defaulted on U.S. loans, and its Chinese operations are in insolvency, so it's unknown exactly what Buffett would be buying. Then there's the fact that Suntech doesn't meet any of Buffett's normal investing rules, so there are few industry observers who think an acquisition would go through.

  Other companies of note that will be hurt will be LDK Solar (LDK), Suntech Power (STP), JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd. (JASO) and Renesola (SOL) among others. Some these are already hanging on by a thread because of taking on too much debt and defaulting on bonds.
