Tomra Systems has had a bit of a tough time recently, but in the last few weeks, the trend has been upwards again. Today, Pareto raised Tomra’s target price to 199 Norwegian Krone and reiterated its BUY recommendation. Previously 173 NOK. I personally added to my holdings a couple of times.

Oh, and if anyone has enough interest and time, they could create a dedicated company thread for Tomra
I started collecting material for it at some point, but I don’t have the energy or time for it right now.

Novo’s weakness continues to puzzle, at least me. At this rate, we’ll soon be under 300 kronor. Again. Value trap or a good investment?

On a weekly level, the 20MA (yellow) has offered quite good resistance to Novo there. It should first be broken through.

A month ago, I bought shares in four American companies, a kind of “USA basket.” They all started rising nicely right away; after the first month, none are in the red. Total increase +5.7%. Exactly the kind of development one could hope for. Below are the companies:

Can Elisa already be called a crisis company? I’m half serious. Always just down. Losses on all other periods except the 10-year review period (if dividends are not considered).
Telia has almost doubled from its lows of a couple of years ago. Elisa has fallen to new lows. Strange. Are their businesses going in such different directions? Did Manner destroy a good company in record time?
On a general level, it’s worth paying attention to the company’s competitiveness. If it fails, there can be a long decline, though assessing competitiveness is easier said than done.
Which brings us to: Nokia was considered “cheap” a good 20 years ago, when its stock price had fallen sharply and was only around 25-30 euros (it was over 60 euros at its peak). Now the price is just over 5 euros; dividends certainly offer some comfort, but it has indeed been a harsh investment in the long run.
In Nokia’s case, the euphoria of the tech boom first turned into pessimism, followed by a brief recovery, and then the company began to stumble badly, with this being the end result. So, even a long time won’t fix the stock price if the business doesn’t perform as it used to.

Staring at the price index in companies that deliberately pay out almost all of their profit as dividends to their owners is, in my opinion, a very useless endeavor.
Microsoft denies the report that sales targets for its salespeople have been cut.

A Microsoft spokesperson said the company has not lowered sales quotas or targets for its salespeople.
Quite a significant price movement was indeed seen based on a somewhat vague story. A slight hiccup somewhere and bots immediately start dumping everything. ![]()
It’s really starting to look like the longer one doesn’t invest in “general indices,” the more brutally one falls behind inflation. A tough situation when even my own business sale proceeds have gone like ashes in the wind in a few years, as I didn’t understand to invest all of it. I was still too much of a novice at that point to make tough decisions. What is it now, a 70% rise in a few years, so not much is left of cash. And Stock markets = inflation. Now I get the same slice for a much higher price. I just couldn’t believe then that it would truly go upwards at such a pace without breaks.
No, the stock market is really not inflation. They are two completely different things.
You know it’s a long-term Helsinki stock market crawler/investor when support has to be sought from the monthly 200 moving average. The calculation of the average starts so far back that the “fr fr” youth were nothing more than pressure in their father’s balls at that time.

IREN just secured its financing, and long-term call options are once again flowing into the stock (e.g., $110 for January 2028, the largest of which is $22 million).

It also looks like the coming days (Thu-Fri) could see the SPX slowly climbing towards 6900+, and with the FED loosening its policy, risk appetite is improving again, at least temporarily. The FED’s interest rate decision will be announced on Wednesday, December 10th, and expectations are now 89% for a 25bps cut.

Novo is indeed an incredibly fragile stock. Basically always down, unless good news happens to come. Tomorrow probably below 300 kronor again. It is weak. You can’t really make a profit with that, I have experience. Owning it feels the same as owning Neste a year ago when the toboggan run and the company turning into a smoking ruin were in full swing.

The sentiment is starting to ripen. After messages like these, I started buying Neste shares, and it has been one of my best investments. I should take a closer look at Novo.

Today seems to be a strong day for my Japanese investments. Everything is nicely in the green. Is there any information why such a good rise, or did they just go up?
