Bennett, who's three years older than me and was a bit further along in the balding process, had been my hair loss mentor. But now, he was one of the growing number of men who traveled 5,000 miles to Istanbul, the global capital for hair transplant surgery.

The Fed and economic policy were top of mind this week given the central bank's Wednesday decision to yet again leave interest rates unchanged , as it has since last summer. This week included the conclusion of April's trading month, which marked the first down month of the year for all three major market averages. Indeed, some recent earnings reports have raised doubts about the economy, with brands from McDonald's and Starbucks evidencing signs of strain among consumers. While no new inflation numbers are scheduled for release next week, investors will see reports on March wholesale inventories, March consumer credit and May consumer sentiment from the University of Michigan. AI trade Though interest rates took center stage this week, investors also continued monitoring companies tied to the artificial intelligence boom amid the stocks' recent choppiness.

"If you look at AI stocks or Nvidia in particular … Nvidia's a phenomenal company, massive revenue growth, massive earnings growth, but there's a question — how wonderful are they? Miller said Nvidia is inherently different from companies such as Microsoft and Apple, which he thinks are worth their $2 billion valuations. Nvidia shares more than tripled in 2023 as investors flocked into the AI darling. Metallurgical coal companies are trading very cheaply alongside their thermal coal peers since investors are "throwing the baby out with the bathwater," Miller said. "There's going to be more metallurgical coal used over the next three to five years, but there's no new supply coming online."

Kaganoff predicted that in the new year some startups prescribing GLP-1s would invest more money in studies using real-world evidence to show their programs work. And despite the Ozempic frenzy, weight-loss startups captured a tiny fraction of the money invested this year. Investors had put about $211 million toward weight-loss startups through mid-November, representing about 3% of digital-health funding over that period, according to PitchBook.

☆ Why Hims & Hers won't prescribe Ozempic for now in its new weight-loss program
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-27 | by ( Rebecca Torrence | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +2 min

When Hims & Hers launches its new weight-loss program, the digital-health company won't be joining in on the Ozempic craze, its CEO, Andrew Dudum, said. While pricey drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy have exploded in popularity this year for their potential to help people lose weight, Hims & Hers plans to offer cheaper generic medications for weight loss, at least initially. Ro's weight-loss program was fueling fast growth for the startup this year, but some patients struggled with insurance denials and delays in communication with Ro. Dudum said during the company's third-quarter earnings call that Hims & Hers expected weight management to be "an extraordinarily valuable category." Next year, in addition to launching its weight-loss program, the company plans to expand its new AI engine, which it's been beta testing in its psychiatry patients.
