Up on Adobe, still little down on NVO

I think the high-beta markets' behavior is about to change. So, I did an analysis YTD today (no use of AI whatsoever).
Taking the WSB's top-40 voted picks from [https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1pvodhc/top\_40\_dark\_horse\_bets\_for\_2026/](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1pvodhc/top_40_dark_horse_bets_for_2026/), if you had invested $10,000 in each of these, see how much each bet would be worth today at close of 7/29/2026.

I am actually surprised the overall performance is quite decent at each tranche count (compared to baseline). I realize the risk-adjusted returns are much worse, but here I just did a simple growth calculation

*Everybody complaining that the market is drilling*
*Looks into portfolio*
*+1.3% this month*
*Looks closer*
**NFLX RDDT NVO AAPL MSFT NVDA**
*Ah ok, now it makes sense*

Just holding my ragtag group of turkeys that are holding up amazing during this correction. BITU, CPB, CMG, GIS, GT, KHC, KMB, NVO, STRC, TV, UAA and XRP. Have 87.5% of powder dry waiting to buy, but not today. Not tomorrow. Not next week or month. Later in the year at the earliest. This correction is going to be a bloodbath imo.
Dow 50k, Naz 25k, S&P 7500. These were the targets I was waiting for. They all broke through so I lightened up, and with 12.5% I went turkey hunting. Non-AI. Non-tech. So far so good!

PYPL and NVO green YTD.... r/ValueInvesting poping champagne.

NVO 😅 Let me cry in corner, I first bought it around 85 iirc based on this sub's advice.

Well yeah the sub has only been calling for UNH, Adobe, PayPal, and NVO for the past 3 years. Eventually it has to do “pretty decent”.
Adobe -25% on the year btw

I have seen that this sub’s picks lately have been doing pretty decent. Won’t say that they are rebounding hard but doing better than the broad market.
UNH, Adobe, PayPal, NVO, NOW
Good work, yall! Normally I just inverse this sub with like 2 percent of my portfolio and I wouldn’t lie that I have made pretty good money doing that but looks like that strategy won’t work going forward 🚀

Outside of Tech is there even anything decent to invest in???????? For one my NVO is juuust about to break even

I had NVO leap yolo, NVO never recovered. I think its about same cause i did option. Actually less retarded cause you actually lost so much without leverage. Thats impressive work my friend

My first value investment was buying NVO at $62….
And TBH a lot of value stock wasn’t a value stock to began with, so there are just as much bag holder with those

People be chugging coke like water. Time to invest in NVO, LLY, and DVA

Actually green on the day, thx NFLX and NVO

They are all down ytd… msft down 17%, RDDT down 29%, Meta down 9%, meli is down 8%, spot is down 13%, csu is down 8%, NVO down 6%, gdwn is down 16.3%, nflx is down 19%… Only UNH and the index fund and up on the year. Its basically just cope.

COST and NVO trying to balance out the crater of red that is AMD and GLW in my port lol

Seeking Alpha’s stock selection strategy is better suited to today’s U.S. equity market than pure value investing, or what is also called contrarian investing. They rank five factors—growth, momentum, valuation, profitability, and analysts’ forward EPS outlook—from high to low, and only recommend stocks that meet all of them for their annual Top 10 list. Compared with the individual stocks recommended on this forum (for example, Google, UNH, NVO, ADBE), their success rate is much higher. People here tend to favor contrarian investing and put valuation first. Valuation is of course important, but it should not be the sole criterion for stock selection; they prefer situations where valuation is reasonable, or ideally very cheap.

Mining, oil shipping, agriculture, real estate. But lots of it is still very dependent on the spending of the big overpriced ones.
Off the top of my head, NVO, but they're getting hammered by competition and also carry a significant debt load.
