Tekmira (TKMR) - The drug maker is up more than 11% on word that their Ebola treatment has been given a green light by the Food and Drug Administration. The move is not a full approval of the drug but rather permission to treat those with confirmed Ebola cases under extenuating circumstances. Tekmira shares have gone up by more than 200% in the last year.

Sears (SHLD) - The embattled retailer taking a dip today after attempts to sell-off it's Canadian division failed to attract any buyers. Today's slide comes just days after Sears was forced to take a $400 million loan that it says will help it get through the holiday shopping season.

Apple (AAPL) - Shares are flat today despite Tim Cook and company announcing iPhone sales figures. Investors must have expected the record sale of 10 million iPhone 6 and 6-plus models, besting last year's figure by one million. Cook says Apple could have sold more phones if they had been available. It seems yet again the supply chain has forced many consumers to wait for fancy new gadgets.
