Advisors' Opinion:- [By Bryan Murphy]
The hot and cold cycle for Zalicus Inc. (NASDAQ:ZLCS) continues to repeat itself. The fourth such turn of that wheel looks like it's getting ready to begin, and if this is one anything like the last three, ZLCS is due for a rally of anywhere between 25% to 50%. Traders who hop on that wave shouldn't tarry, however, because if the budding rally is anything like the last three, it's still only going to lead to a pullback about half the size of the gain. Still, a sizeable double-digit gain isn't bad for a few days' worth of work.

Build-A-Bear Workshop (NYSE: BBW).��Unlike traditional toy manufacturers that make toys and games and distribute them to retailers, Build-A-Bear has flipped the toy-making concept on its ear. The idea of making a stuffed animal from scratch has taken the toy market by storm, and has carved out a nice little niche market for the company.

However, are these small cap health care stocks a better bet for investors or for their promoters? Here is a quick reality check and a checkup:

Hot Stocks For 2014: Market Vectors Short Municipal Index ETF (SMB)
Market Vectors Short Municipal Index ETF (the Fund) seeks to replicate as closely as possible the price and yield performance of the Barclays Capital AMT-Free Short Continuous Municipal Index (the Index). The Index provides broad exposure to investment-grade municipal bonds with a nominal maturity of 1 to 6 years. To be included in the Index, bonds must be rated investment-grade (Baa3/BBB- or higher) by at least two ratings agencies: Moody��, S&P, Fitch. If only two of the three agencies rate the security, the lower rating is used to determine index eligibility. If only one of the three agencies rates a security, the rating must be investment grade. They must have an outstanding par value of at least $7 million and be issued as part of a transaction of at least $75 million. The bonds must be fixed rate, have a dated-date within the last five years, and must be at least 1 year but less than 6 years from their maturity date. Its investment advisor is Van Eck Associates Corporation. Advisors' Opinion:- [By Todd Rosenbluth]
Two others are iShares Short-Term National AMT-Free Municipal Bond ETF (SUB) and Market Vectors Short Municipal Index ETF (SMB).
The Market Vectors fund, not surprisingly, has more A bond exposure and less AA exposure than the iShares fund. However, both have lower average durations than iShares National AMT-Free Muni Bond and thus might appeal to investors concerned about the impact of higher rates.
