Forget AI stocks, this supermarket name is more exciting, says chart analyst

While investors have been infatuated with the latest AI-fueled growth story, I'm actually finding more and more opportunities in defensive areas of the market. These are stocks that have generally underperformed for much of 2024, but recent price and momentum improvements are creating powerful setups with upside potential. Shares of Kroger Co. (KR) are threatening a new 52-week high this week, and a breakout above current levels would confirm one of the most bullish price patterns in the technical toolkit: the cup-with-handle pattern. We can see the cup-with-handle pattern developing on the daily chart, consisting of a six-month rounded bottoming pattern followed by a brief pullback in the month of October. The key to a cup with handle pattern is the "rim" of the cup, which is essentially ...

Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic may reduce risk of Alzheimer’s disease: study

Steve Christo - Corbis | Corbis News | Getty ImagesNovo Nordisk's blockbuster diabetes drug Ozempic may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, suggesting its potential to delay or prevent the memory-robbing condition, according to a study released Thursday. Semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic, was associated with a 40% to 70% lower risk of a first-time Alzheimer's diagnosis in patients with Type 2 diabetes compared with seven other diabetes medications. That includes insulin and older so-called GLP-1 drugs similar to Ozempic, the research said. Alzheimer's disease is often diagnosed in the mild dementia stage, when a person has significant trouble with memory and thinking. Almost 7 million Americans have the condition, the fifth-leading cause of death for adults over ...
