Elsewhere, TLRY bought a few of BUD's beer brands.

So BUD is likely scheming.

Weed and beer.

They'd be better off with just weed.

in other drug company news, novo nordisk's [nvo] weight loss drug hit the jackpot with a trial that showed it cut the risk of heart disease by 20%

I own a bit of NVO I'm happy to say

forget Eli Lilly and tell me if we'll get more good news, or if it's too late to get in on it if someone wants to buy now

thanks to the transgenders I've taken an interest in drug companies with 20% per year growth potential in the category

also NVO makes Ozempic, which got me to buy some ... not sure if they are in on the transgender drug gravy train

NVO has a great chart.

It's worth $50 billion more this morning.


If I were bullish on a big pharma stock and I believed in big pharma as a solution (and I don't), I'd increase position on the bottom trend-line only, if she was ever able to get there.

That may mean buying when the market crashes, etc. or having a really bad week, month, quarter, year, etc.

It's a six bagger in 7 years.

Not bad.

I placed a put order in for LLY going out to 12/2025 at a strike of $440.

But it's below market a few dollars.
