$VKTX @Elevator_up hopefully these and similar studies will eventually force insurance companies to cover weight loss drugs for simple weight loss as well as T2DM. I think we all agree that insurance companies would do better in longer run financially if their patients are less "fat"/in better health and GLP1s help move patients in that direction! Would be great for weight loss products as well Insanely

$VKTX I was just reading several posts this morning about BL and other’s comp package. Guys, I hate to break this to you, but you don’t matter. Even if 100% of retail voted against or for giving him more stock, we are less than 20% of ownership. The institutional owners will decide what happens (they already know how they are voting btw) and they will vote to give BL and team their performance shares. Companies don’t put out these proposals for a vote unless they are pretty confident they are going to get what they want. The board and others talk to their big investors all the time and get feedback. Anyway, enjoy the ride.

$VKTX The Bigger GLP-1 Picture at the VA This study is part of a growing body of VA-funded research on GLP-1 receptor agonists that is changing how the VA thinks about these drugs. Earlier this year, a separate VA St. Louis study of 606,000 veterans found that GLP-1 drugs reduced the risk of developing substance use disorders across every major addictive substance, including alcohol, opioids, nicotine, cocaine and cannabis. That study also found a 25% reduction in suicidal ideation among veterans taking GLP-1 medications. https://www.military.com/benefits/veterans-health-care/va-clinic-gave-veterans-glp-1s-weight-loss-year-later-everything-improved.html

$VKTX up 48% from a year ago - let that sink in for the longs like me. I go to sleep comfortably with all my shares - will wake up one morning a millionaire again. When that happens - i'll reflect for maybe 5-8 minutes on everyone that complained or thought being short was the play. I have plenty of time - what makes investing fun. Watching my bird hatch and leave the nest...

$VKTX These points 👇 are well made. BL has long made it obvious that his goal is buyout > partnership but clearly he hasn’t been able to get his desired sale price with current data available. If maintenance and especially phase 3 go well there will be significant multiple expansion. In that case, these conversations on performance options will likely seem like old news 🗞️… We need more data at this point and Viking is actively working towards that goal.

$VKTX But, but, if BL was a competent CEO, then moronic comments from Jim "Honk-Honk!" Cramer wouldn't affect the SP. And Zacks and related BP-underwritten propaganda rags wouldn't hurt the SP via absolute trash hit pieces. And BP-fueled hedge funders wouldn't succeed in shorting the company stock. And the BoD would send shorties running for the hills by spending $150M in operations-critical cash buying back shares, since doing so would represent, perhaps, one week's worth of trades while absolutely destroying the cash runway. Because, if he were "competent," that would inflate the SP short term so they could sell while leaving everyone else holding their bags and making Viking's future non-viable. And, finally, if BL was more media-savvy (i.e. sleazy), he'd be carny-barking Viking rather than letting the data tell the story. Beware, these same people will assert BL has no plan to go commercial bc they lack the staffing. All bullshit. Long hold. Insanely...
