Weighty Matters and Pizza Profits

Now, things get a bit slippery. Novo Nordisk took a tumble, about 14%, because its weight-loss drug didn't quite measure up to Eli Lilly's. Ouch That’s like trying a new stunt that doesn’t land quite right you gotta dust yourself off and try again. But hold on, Domino's Pizza is having a party U.S. sales are up, and people are buying more pizza than you can shake a nunchuck at. Even better than my action movies. It's a reminder that people still love a good slice, no matter what the market's doing.

Remember, use your brain and your muscles.
