UnitedHealth and Novo Nordisk, these two stocks, who knows how many people's mentality they will play to the point of collapse. One stays above 300 for a while before diving deep underwater for a long time, the other stays above 60 for a while before experiencing a sharp drop.

From what I remember, today should be the fourth time in the past half year that NVO has gone above 60+ and then plummeted, right? For those with good market sense and mastery of day trading (T) rhythm, they would have made a fortune; but for those who hold long-term and love to watch the market, it's just punishment after punishment.

There are many cheap, high-quality chips in the market now. I haven't bought pharmaceutical stocks for a long time—with the blonde guy in power, they're like ticking time bombs. Honestly, there's no need to dig for money in a cesspool. If you still have profits or the losses aren't big, it's better to cut your losses early and go see the world outside.

$Novo Nordisk AS(NVO.US) has gone up and down several times, and has been repeatedly pulled back by limit orders. The 51.5 limit order I set earlier was automatically executed again. I didn’t think it was possible to buy at this price, but somehow it always gets filled—it’s just ridiculous 😶

UNH and NVO were the first stocks I bought when I started trading U.S. stocks four months ago. Holding NVO requires more patience than UNH. Don’t be fooled by UNH’s rebound to 355—it’s mostly luck. If it weren’t for Buffett’s golden reputation, it would still be stuck in the mud.

I know I don’t have the patience for long-term holding, so my strategy with NVO is to take profits whenever possible. I bought at 45 and sold at 53-55; bought at 53-50 and cleared at 61; bought at 54 and cleared at 57. After three months of back-and-forth, who knew I could buy again at 51? No wonder long-term holders of NVO are losing their minds.

If you’re truly planning to hold long-term, I suggest buying and then deleting the trading app—don’t look at it. A year or two later, you might get a big surprise. If, like me, you can’t stand not checking the market every day, then holding NVO is just torturing yourself. It’s better to switch positions early when you have profits or manageable losses, rather than losing money and your health.

Many people treat stocks like raising kids—as if they won’t rest until the kid becomes successful (profitable). They insist every stock must make money and refuse to accept any losses. This is actually a psychological issue that needs to be fixed. Sometimes, knowing when to cut losses is more important than taking profits.
