If you're a junk-bond investor, I have a message for you. Get out. The easy money in high-yield bonds is gone. Prices have soared. And the overall high-yield bond market sits at dangerous levels today. History says this setup could lead to double-digit losses. And that's why the smart move is to get out – now. Let me explain… High-yield bonds have soared over the past 14 months. The iShares iBoxx High Yield Corporate Bond Fund (HYG) is up 16% from its February 2016 bottom. HYG is still near its recent highs. It hasn't begun to break down yet. But buying today is incredibly dangerous. That's because right now, you're getting almost zero premium for the risk you're taking in high-yield bonds. You see, high-yield, or "junk" bonds, come from companies with questionable prospects. They're less-than-stellar businesses… And they have to pay higher interest rates because of that extra risk.

Arena is out of the obesity drug business, but what about Orexigen Therapeutics (NASDAQ:OREX) or VIVUS (NASDAQ:VVUS)? The problem is that they’re both too dependent on their respective obesity drugs, Contrave and Qsymia. Neither of the drugs have performed up to expectations.
