The Diet Pill Jackpot šš°
Itās a great day to be selling weight loss cheat codes.
The Biden admin just made a move that could super-size the market for anti-obesity drugs. The market loved it & thatās what made Eli Lilly & Co my biggest gainer for today.
Most pharma stocks responded well to todayās news. Eli Lilly performed the best
So why did the market love it? Whatās actually going to happen?
Right now, Medicare & Medicaid only cover anti-obesity meds for specific conditions like diabetes. The new proposal has the potential to put these drugs in the chubby hands of 3.4M more Americans.
If this passes, big pharma get access to 3.4 million more customers overnight. Thatās why the market loved it.
Whoās Getting the Gains?š
Now we know why itās good news, whoās set to make the most money? And more importantly, how can we make the most money out of it?
Hereās my plan. šļø
Big Dogs: Novo & Eli Lilly are the reigning champs in this space. They own the GLP-1 drug market (aka the meds behind Ozempic & Mounjaro). These stocks are heavily undervalued right now even if the bill doesnāt come through. And if it does? No brainer to have these guys as part of a portfolio.
Underdogs: Thereās also a few smaller guys that are undervalued & will benefit from this. I wrote a whole bit on Hims & Hers (HIMS) a few weeks ago that you can read here.
Insurers: The guys providing the insurance also stand to benefit with the higher enrollment numbers that could come about. Iām looking at companies like UnitedHealth (UNH), Humana (HUM), & CVS (CVS).
Show Me the Moneyš¤
If Biden gifting millions more more customers wasnāt enough, Morgan Stanley have also come out & raised their forecasts for the space.
Their 2030 obesity drug market forecast has bumped from a single patty $77B to a Big Mac $144B.
Thatās a huge revision & only makes companies like Eli Lilly & Novo look like even more of a value play.
Why would you not want a part of the companies with a monopoly on a market expected to grow by $144 BILLION in the next 5 years?!
Could this be the biggest disruption to Smartphones in the past 15 years? š²
š„Heads up! There's a new disruptor in smartphones: Mode Mobile. Mode can turn your phone from a cost into an income source ā and investors are watching the launch of the companyās pre-IPO offering.1
š¤³Mode saw 32,481% revenue growth from 2019 to 2022, ranking them the #1 overall software company on Deloitteās most recent fastest-growing companies list. Modeās flagship product EarnPhone, a budget smartphone, has already helped consumers earn & save $325M+.
š«“ Modeās Pre-IPO offering1 is live at $0.25/share ā 20,000+ shareholders already participated in its previous sold-out offering. Thereās still time to get in on Modeās pre-IPO raise and even lock in 100% bonus shares2 ā¦ but only until their current raise closes for good.
1 Mode Mobile currently has no formal plans for an IPO.

111% Gain in 10 Days š¤Æ
SMCIās volatility is putting meme stocks to shame. What is going on with them? Is it worth trying to cash in?
Well, itās a bit of a messy back story.
Last month, SMCI tanked 47% in four straight days.
Why?
Ernst & Young, their auditor, quit & said, āYeah, we donāt trust your governance and internal controls.ā š¬
Less than ideal. Even worse is this news came out the day after I bought my first position. šHowās that for timing the marketā¦.
Investors ran for the hills & you canāt blame them. And just when you thought it couldnāt get any worse, SMCI delayed its 10-K filing & dropped some āmehā guidance for Q2.
By November 15, the stock hit a 52-week low. Pain.
The Plot Twist š¹
As this was going on I carried on averaging down. Only small positions. But I thought the risk/reward was worth it after such a huge drop. I already thought the company was good value before the price was cut in half. I wasnāt sold on the idea of them cooking the books so if thatās case Iād be stupid to not take advantage.
They didnāt let me down.š„³
They brought in BDO USA as their new auditor. Not one of the Big Four, but solid enough to calm nerves, make me feel better & keep Nasdaq delisting fears away.
A few analysts have also slapped them with an upgrade since & chucking around phrases like ābargain buying opportunityā.
Over 111% gain in the space of 10 days for SMCI
Since bottoming out at around $16 SMCI gained over 111% in 10 days.
Because Iāve been averaging in, thatās left me with individual trades sitting at over 90% profit. Overall profit sits at over 20%.
My current open trades for SMCI
To be super clear - a position in SMCI is a big risk. But I think thereās huge upside here, too. Iām talking 200%+.
If they can manage to stay listed, updated audits come back clean & get a few solid quarters under their belt hitting growth forecasts, things should start to look sane again.
Another day, another double figure move for SMCI
Until then, expect to these double figure daily swings to be the norm. If you can stomach it & invest only what youāre happy to lose, this could be one of the better opportunities available right now.
