This episode of The Motley Fool's Market Checkup drills down on the day's hottest headlines and plays a game of investing chicken with the world's biggest biotech.

In this video, health-care analysts David Williamson and Max Macaluso discuss the FDA decision to lower the barrier to entry for Advair generics. The drug is critically important for GlaxoSmithKline. Watch and find out why Glaxo hadn't been anticipating generic competition for a few more years, what next generation COPD drugs it is counting on, and if this bad news combined with the $490 million Chinese bribery allegations makes the stock a stay-away.
