I've never been into investing. My journey started out of necessity and curiosity. I became interested when I noticed that there were few women in the investment industry.
I started investing when I was a teenager. I taught myself through books, podcasts, and trial and error. This has been a journey of empowerment and education that I now want to share with other women.
I first learned about Ozempic through financial news when its parent company, Novo Nordisk, started gaining attention in the stock market due to the drug's popularity. Novo Nordisk is a global healthcare company focused on diabetes care, obesity treatment and a variety of other chronic diseases.
My initial thoughts focused on potential health effects and ethical considerations. From an investment perspective, I observed the market reaction and analyzed the company's performance and the market potential for its drug before making a decision.
I always approach investments with a balanced perspective, considering both potential benefits and ethical implications. Regarding Ozempic, we made the decision after carefully assessing the situation. All investments involve risk. The key is to manage those risks and make informed decisions.
Personally, my thoughts on this drug are mixed. I recognize the medical benefits for specific health conditions, but I also consider broader societal implications and ethical considerations. Whether I try it myself depends on a variety of factors, including my doctor's advice and my personal health needs.

When it comes to exact numbers, when it comes to investing, I always aim for long-term growth rather than short-term profits, and emphasize the importance of patience and strategy in investing.

Currently, Novo Nordisk's sales growth is expected to approach $8 billion in 2024, and the company is expected to enter the top 10 list of pharmaceutical companies by revenue, potentially reaching $40 billion. The company is now worth more than Tesla.
Before Ozempic, I had a variety of investments including stocks, bonds, and ETFs. I believe that a diversified portfolio is necessary to reduce risk and maximize potential returns. Each investment has taught me valuable lessons about the market and myself.
My advice to anyone thinking of investing is to start small, educate yourself, and don't be afraid to ask questions. Investing is not just for the wealthy, it can be done by anyone who wants to learn and grow their wealth over time. Understand your risk tolerance and financial goals and invest in what you believe in.
