Top Shipping Stocks To Buy For 2015

Know the limits of sharing members-only streaming media.

(Money Magazine) When it comes to members-only streaming video and music suites, letting friends and family in on the fun can get a little tricky.

Here are your options:

Netflix -- Stream movies and TV shows

How to share. For $8 a month, you can stream to two devices at once, letting you relax in front of the TV while the kids watch upstairs on a tablet. Or pay an extra $4 to add two more devices.

Sharing is intended for families but isn't formally limited to relatives.

Hit the limit? Try to log in from one device too many, and you get a message saying the action is not permitted.

Amazon Prime -- Get free shipping, ebook loans, and streaming video

How to share. Watch up to two videos at once, borrow an ebook a month, and get free two-day shipping for $79 a year. You can share shipping benefits with up to four "household" members -- though Amazon will not disclose how it determines who qualifies.

Teva already competes against Neupogen in Europe with its Neutroval biosimilar.Sales for Neulasta/Neupogen were flat in the first quarter, but don't expect that to hold up for much longer.

The firm kept a Hold rating in place but went on to say that it may look for a lower share price, down to $34 or $35, before any potential upgrade trigger is seen. Argus is worried about stalled earnings growth, price pressure in the generics group and patent issues of branded products.
