Investor Beat: Sept. 30, 2013

As the government shutdown looms, our analysts give investors the top stories they need to know.

By Alison Southwick – Sep 30, 2013 at 5:41PM EST

The following video is from Monday's edition of Investor Beat, in which host Alison Southwick and Motley Fool analysts Jason Moser and Matt Argersinger dissect the hardest-hitting investing stories of the day.

Now that it looks like a miracle is needed to prevent a government shutdown, the market finally reacts -- creating a great buy opportunity. In our lead story on Investor Beat, Matt and Jason share the stocks they'd like to pick up on sale.

Also, the guys take a look at four stocks making moves on the market today. The Active Network is going private. Facebook has a new customer. Achilleon Pharmaceuticals gets devastating news for a hepatitis C drug. And AMC Networks shows with the Breaking Bad finale that content is still king.

Finally, Matt and Jason explain why they're keeping a close watch on shares of Sina and Ford.
