Novo Nordisk – an update after the drop and one costly lesson in discipline
Ten days ago I wrote here about my largest position in my portfolio – Novo Nordisk $NVO. At that time the stock reacted with a sharp drop to news from clinical trials, and I wrote that I was prepared to endure that volatility because I believe in the company’s long-term growth potential. Since then the... Read more
Thanks so much for sharing this experience. I think it will help a lot of investors.
I struggled with this at the beginning of trading and investing too, and I made a lot of mistakes. I got carried away and FOMO took over. But it's important to recognize it and try not to repeat those mistakes. From personal experience I know it doesn't always work out 100% of the time.
Anyway, I have shares of $NVO in my portfolio and I plan to hold them long term. After the recent drop I also bought more.
Johnson & Johnson $JNJ is considering the sale of its DePuy Synthes orthopedic division, which it originally planned to spin off as a standalone company. The potential value of the transaction is estimated at more than $20 billion.
Stocks—mostly those of technology companies—have finally corrected a bit after a long time. I’m curious about your approach and how you plan your next steps. Personally, right now I’ll probably wait and save up more capital. At the same time, I’ll slightly trim my positions. For example $MSFT$NVO$BTCUSD$SPGI .....
Today was an extreme sell-off. The only thing annoying me is $NVO, where I’ve been bleeding for a long time, and just when it looked like things were turning for the better, we got hit. Unfortunately, there’s nothing to be done.
Who are your top picks right now? At current prices I have three — $MSFT, $FICO (it’s brutal, but it could still go a bit lower 🤣) and $SPGI
Hi, as for $ADBE, I think we all have it clear — an incredibly cheap stock with great numbers confirming that the AI business is strengthening. The biggest gem in the market and, in my opinion, a clear buy. Another value is in $NVO, although it's unpredictable there. Then $FTNT — valuation-wise the best in the sector, which has unique traits that allow it to outperform the... Read more
Novo Nordisk $NVO– My largest equity position and why I hold it
Novo Nordisk ($NVO) is my largest equity position, making up 11.5% of the portfolio value with an unrealized gain of 31.29%. As a leader in diabetes and obesity treatment (e.g., Ozempic and Wegovy) it’s on an upward trend – it rose 9.12% on January 16, 2026, closing at $62.33. I plan to hold it long term because of...

For me, holding with a trailing stop loss makes sense. The trend is strong and fundamentals still support the story. I’d consider a partial sell only for portfolio rebalancing, not because the NVO thesis is breaking. Competition and regulation are real risks, but that’s fairly standard in this sector.
Which sector besides technology do you find most interesting right now and see potential in?
In my opinion, the healthcare sector certainly has a lot of strength; it has been growing significantly in recent years, and we can clearly see that in companies such as $NVO or $LLY.
As my second choice I would pick fintech, because not only young people today dislike traditional banks.... Read more
When I wrote two days ago that "if you wouldn't ramble" and that "some here are guided by impressions instead of facts," my post was deleted. But when someone writes outright nonsense here, like Lukáš Nekvapil — he specifically writes that "the healthcare sector has been growing significantly in recent years," which is nonsense, since it fell by more than 10% last year — that's fine...
Which sector, besides technology, do you find most interesting right now and see potential in?
In my opinion, the healthcare sector is definitely very strong; it has grown significantly in recent years, and we can clearly see that in companies such as $NVO or $LLY.
As a second choice, I would pick fintech, because not only young people today dislike traditional banks. Companies... Read more
Not healthcare by a long shot... it’s such a complex business that I basically don’t understand it deeply enough to put my money there... for me, the biggest potential right now is definitely Aerospace and Defence, and at least in the short term, heavy industry as well.
Novo Nordisk $NVOis nicely returning to previous levels. Do you know what caused that rebound and upward trend? I'm glad I added to my position :). What scenario do you see for the future and what is your outlook going forward?
I still see $NU and $ASML$TTD, $NVO.... Do you have any stocks you consider an "underdog" among those mentioned? If so, please tell me why you think that so I have something to read. Thanks :)

I will definitely be overbought $TTD after a big and exaggerated drop. Slowly $NVO is starting to rise as well , so I'll increase that position some more.
Shares of $NVO have started to rise in recent days after a new weight loss pill from $LLY showed less efficacy than their drug Wegovy. I think this is great news and maybe the sentiment could have turned around on NVO and the stock could continue to rise.
What do you think about this news? Do you think it's enough for the stock to finally go up now?
