VKTX is challenging the weight-loss giants NVO and LLY
图片Now, $Novo-Nordisk A/S(NVO)$ and $Eli Lilly(LLY)$ are dominating the weight loss market, but a rising biotech star might just give them a run for their money. $Viking Therapeutics(VKTX)$ is a small but mighty biotech company, focused on developing treatments for metabolic and endocrine disorders. Many other pharma giants have tried and failed to break into this booming market, but Viking seems to be on the right track.Weeks ago, Viking announced positive results from the Phase II trial of its GLP-1 and GIP dual agonist, VK2735. The hype surrounding this obesity drug candidate has sent Viking's stock soaring!With this Phase II success, Viking has a few clear optio
Swiss Bank Revisited. In my 15 Feb 2024 post, I have touched on Swiss bank $UBS Group AG(UBS)$ and how I managed to “dip buy” when US market was very nervous about the first Consumer Price Index (CPI) report of 2024. What exacerbated the situation was January 2024 inflation data came in stronger than Wall Street estimates. With that came the opportunity to dip-buy into UBS banks as recounted in my February post. (Click here !to read). Since purchase, the stock managed to make steady gains. (see above) My strategy has always been to separate my purchase/s into separate parcels. And I have my “ideal” ent

80 is enuf!!! $Viking Therapeutics, Inc.(VKTX)$While VKTX-2735 has shown promising safety profiles in early studies, ramping up the dosage could potentially introduce unforeseen risks. Investors might fret over increased adverse reactions with higher doses, casting doubt on its commercial viability and market acceptancetho its potential for significant weight loss, VKTX-2735 faces an uphill battle in a fiercely competitive weight loss drug market. established players like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide already dominate, raising questions about VKTX-2735's ability to carve out a significant market share and achieve commercial successand VKTX-2735 is still in the clinical trial phase, and its path to market approval depends o
If VKTX-2735 can grab just a slice of that market share the stock price gonna be 200
100? 200!!!!!!!!The weight loss pill war is heating up with a new player entering the arena! VKTX-2735 is rocking it with its amazing safety profile and clear dose response. This means there's room to up the dosage for even better weight loss results! Can't wait for that! $Novo-Nordisk A/S(NVO)$ Sales of Semaglutide have already hit a whopping $21.01 billion! $Eli Lilly(LLY)$ Tirzepatide sales reached $5.163 billion in 2023. If VKTX-2735 can grab just a slice of that market share with its dose response, easily taking $15 billion, its current market cap of less than $10 billion is a total steal! It's like $Viking Therapeutics(VKTX)$ hitting
During the holidays, I plan to hold onto stocks, aiming for a $S&P 500(.SPX)$ target of 6000 by 2024. The ongoing AI revolution led by tech giants like $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ and $Microsoft(MSFT)$ is poised to empower all industries. As AI applications become more widespread, we're on the brink of the most significant transformation yet. Get ready to shoot for the moon! 🚀
Even Compares to the crazist 2000 S&P500 is overvalued
During the holidays, I'll be holding onto cash. My target for the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ in 2024 is 5000.Considering the current market environment, especially the high valuations of tech stocks, there are still some uncertainties. Compared to 2000, the market today appears even more frenzied, with overall stock valuations surpassing those of that time.Then, there were many deeply undervalued value stocks in the market, whereas now, most of the passive holdings in the S&P 500 have reached 50%, reducing the capacity for price discovery. Additionally, it's challenging to find significantly cheap investments in traditional sectors, as highlighted in Buffett's recent annual report.Moreover, in 2000, there were some wildly sp
DJT's stock price will be as crazy as Trump's actions
$Trump Media & Technology(DJT)$ 's target price is on the moon. Who knows how high meme stock players will drive DJT? The stock price will be as crazy as Trump's actions. This time, I'm sure I've bet right. There's no doubt Trump will win the election.
The target price for $Trump Media & Technology(DJT)$ is delisting. If Trump fails to win, it's a failed bet. I think expectations are too high. Even if Trump wins, it may not justify this price. So, for those buying at this point, I don't know what they're thinking.
The S&P500 has been hitting record highs in recent weeks. Is there still momentum to continue this bull run? 1D chart as of 27 Mar 2024 From the 1D chart, here are my observations: The MACD indicator is still showing a bullish trend. A top crossover looks possible in the coming days. As the crossover is yet to be completed, this could take days to realize. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator is showing a downward trend. Some traders use the crossover with the 0 (zero) line as a reversal signal. From the chart, CMF is trending down and it is consistent with the falling volume of S&P500. This does not mean that the S&P500 MUST fall today. However, we have learnt that market movements (of ups and downs) are just part of the typical market volatility. Relying on 1 single indic
