description: "$Hims & Hers Health(HIMS.US)$Novo Nordisk AS(NVO.US)NVO sues HIMS, but as a shareholder of both, I lost 10%.There's a classic joke in the investment world: hedging risk. I tried it out and found that I could hedge away the gains, but not the losses.The story goes like this: NVO (Novo Nordisk) sued HIMS for patent infringement over weight-loss drugs. I slapped my thigh—isn't this a freebie? I own shares in both the plaintiff and defendant, so I win no matter who wins! The market taught me a lesson: NVO dropped, HIMS also dropped. It didn't matter who won the lawsuit; what mattered was that my account lost 10% first. Looking back, my move can be called the "Master of Water-Carrying" in the investment world. Others carry water to please both sides; I carry water and lose money on both sides. The lawyers were arguing fiercely in court, while I watched my account with a sinking heart. The funniest part is, these two stocks fell in perfect sync, as if they had planned it. NVO says, "I have the patent, what am I afraid of?" HIMS says, "I have the market, what am I afraid of?" I say, "I have the stocks, and I'm afraid." Now I've learned my lesson. Next time something like this happens, I'll just buy shares in the law firm. At least they make real money from lawsuits, unlike me, who pays to watch others fight. Investment takeaway: Don't think buying both sides makes you safe. The market has plenty of ways to teach you what it means to "get hit from both sides.""

- **Troyyy · 2026-03-14T06:35:14.000Z**: I didn't understand that earlier wave of hims sell puts with a far expiration date. How was it judged and why sell so far out? Looking back, it was pretty impressive.
- **ST欧阳昆汀 · 2026-03-14T00:47:09.000Z**: But bro, you have unlimited ammo, what's there to be afraid of?
  - **温哥华的小雨** (2026-03-14T12:43:59.000Z): Just playing with a small amount. How could it be unlimited ammo?
- **站前路股神 · 2026-03-13T14:56:59.000Z**: Then why not try shorting at the same time hahaha
  - **温哥华的小雨** (2026-03-13T15:43:51.000Z): Naked short selling could be hit hard.
- **空仓等暴跌 · 2026-03-13T14:46:07.000Z · 👍 1**: The decline of NVO has absolutely nothing to do with whether HIMS sells its weight-loss drug.
  - **耐心等待Gz** (2026-03-13T15:21:07.000Z): Can't handle the courtesy anymore
