Quick takeaways

  • Weight-loss drugs like Osempic and wego V are increasingly popular, but insurance companies are unlikely to cover them, leading to limited access for those who truly need them.
  • The popularity of weight-loss drugs among the rich and famous has caused shortages and high prices, leaving ordinary individuals with the tough decision of whether to pay for them themselves and potentially go into debt.

Arm's IPO and Business Model

Arm, a chip maker that designs chips and sells the designs to chip makers, debuted on the NASDAQ with a $54.5 billion valuation. Their business model is based on royalty, and a significant portion of their revenue comes from past products. Arm has strategic partnerships with NVIDIA and TSMC, and while their early momentum is promising, it is uncertain if it will sustain in the long term.
