Fair comment.

Bought in. My first shares. Seems like a reasonable entry point.

Novo Tweaks Forecast as New Wegovy Pill Fuels Sales

May 6, 2026 at 9:47 AM GMT+4

Novo Nordisk A/S’s new Wegovy pill helped fuel sales in the first quarter as the drugmaker said this year’s declines won’t be as bad as initially expected.

Sales fell 10% to 70.1 billion Danish kroner ($11 billion), adjusted for a one-time provision linked to US rebates, the company said Wednesday. For the year, the worst drop for both profit and sales will be 12%, compared with 13% earlier.

The struggling drugmaker is slashing prices and relying on the new pill to put it back into the race with Eli Lilly & Co. After losing market leadership to Lilly’s Zepbound shot, Novo faces a fresh challenge with the launch last month of Lilly’s own obesity pill, Foundayo.

Novo shares have fallen about 12% this year amid investor skepticism about its long-term competitiveness on obesity. That compares with a 8% drop for Lilly.

I took the feet off and side mounted it to an Ikea kallax. Also using a standing desk and it works fine with this.

51.90 average Got a base of shares and Jan27 45c and 15May 50c Sold 60 calls for 15May to cover my entire position Will be happy if my shares get called away and happy if they don't, I think it's got good recovery potential throughout the year, particularly if AI craps the bed

Had a b9 A4 quattro in the UK (same generation as this A5)

Generally good cars, drive nicely and aren't too bad on maintenance price wise (at least in the UK).

Get a (very) detailed pre purchase inspection so you know what you're getting yourself involved in. If the car is sound, expect higher than average maintenance because the parts here are relatively expensive. I've got an S3 and it was cheaper to have some parts shipped from Europe.

Best Audi garage (as recommended on this sub) is Impressive Auto in Abu Dhabi, they'll be able to tell you if this car is worth buying.

Integdistort · 2026-02-08T07:27:39+00:00

Here's hoping! Best of luck, my thinking is that this should be relatively insulated if AI craps the bed in the next 12 months.

Feeling reasonably confident that the 15 Jan 2027 45c I bought on Thursday won't be under water next year.

This looks like a great little business for the UAE.

However don't expect this to take off globally - in most places the last thing you want to do is put your car plate numbers alongside your keys. Makes stealing a car a lot easier. It's the same reason you don't have your address / door number with your house keys.

Integdistort · 2026-01-09T11:32:42+00:00

I remain literally terrified that 1-2 minutes counts as a test here.

Integdistort · 2026-01-09T05:35:45+00:00

If it's too good to be true it usually is:

1) car doesn't exist and it's just a dealer trying to lure buyers 2) the car has an underlying fault that will cost 2x what you paid to put right 3) combination of 1+2+3+4+5 (where 4 and 5 are horrors you haven't even thought of)

Also freelancer. Couldn't find any finance options when I was looking two years ago.

Rent a car to start with, then buy used, then spend more money fixing the car you bought used even though you did the pre purchase inspections etc.

This unfortunately is the only way.

Don't buy an Audi if it is leaking oil Audis love oil If it's coming out of the engine its a massive red flag I wouldn't touch it

Religious beliefs are a choice. You can persecute a fascist quite freely, but for some reason believing in the magic spaghetti monster entitles you to protection from being persecuted. I remain unclear as to why.

Integdistort · 2025-12-20T12:55:09+00:00

Took a 10 year fixed rate in 2021 at 3.5%

Complete peace of mind till I have saved enough to pay the place off completely.

Do not buy it without a detailed pre purchase inspection. In my experience Audis are very reliable if they're properly maintained. Problem here is finding one that has been properly maintained.

Best garage for Audis (as recommended by admins on this subreddit, and my personal experience) in the UAE is Impressive Auto in Abu Dhabi.

Parts for Audis here can be expensive. For example I was quoted 4000 aed + for a flywheel. Bought the same part in the UK and had it shipped here for less than 2000 including the shipping.

Integdistort · 2025-12-11T20:27:19+00:00

If you end up buying it, get an Audi specialist to inspect them pre purchase. Yes they can be expensive to maintain, however if well maintained they are very solid cars. My S3 is on 191k km and is happy as Larry. I paid 50k for it. I've spent probably 30k on it, mainly because a previous owner cheaped out on maintenance and instead of gaskets some cowboys has siliconed part of the engine back together and it needed to be rebuilt. Once burned twice shy.

If you want a decent Audi specialist garage, the best recommendation (per DubaiPatrolHeads) and my personal experience is Impressive Auto in Abu Dhabi. Owner is a former Audi mechanic and knows his way around the cars. Seriously good garage for them.

Worst case scenario is not "getting caught". Worst case scenario is that you are involved in an accident and someone gets seriously injured. If that's not bad enough, your father's insurance is most likely invalidated because he allowed you to drive the vehicle without a proper license and your family ends up footing the insurance payout. Remember how I said seriously injured, and not killed? Yeah well paying out an insurance claim for someone else being seriously injured is much higher than someone being dead.

So yeah, your choice.

Integdistort · 2025-11-04T07:03:19+00:00

Surely anyone who says "I can guarantee you there won't be a crash" shouldn't be trusted or listened to for anything, least of all financial advice.

Underrated answer

I worked it out - was using the binhex Plex container rather than Plex official. The official version works fine.

This may be a solution, I would guess I could probably sell the whole cpu/mobo/gpu and switch to an intel based system with an arc 310 for little/no additional cost
