As you all were aware that I am under treatment by a very competent Cardiologist.
I am responding well to his treatment of 6 medications...
It has been Since November 17th that I was diagnosed with heart ailment.....
I have not only lost 40 pounds of weight in last 9 months mostly due to trauma of losing my " soulmate " of 56 years.....
BUT that trauma resulted in " heart condition & for the first time in my life, I was in Cardiac ward for 3 days......
YES..I am still much " weaker than before "
Heart condition has contributed big time to " losing strength " to do small chores in the house....which IS very disappointing knowing " how active I like to be "
YES...I have to control or minimize most " stress " so my health & heart can get more strength....
Part of that review did force me to think to cut back on my BLOG writing....
I started this BLOG in April of 2007.....in my 18th year now.....
Based on current health needs, I will only post when I sell something or buy something.....PLUS a weekly recap of Portfolio weighting with weekly gains / loss plus my view of US stock market....
All this on Sunday every week....
Hope this will be acceptable based on current health needs....
As always, It has been my utmost pleasure to write this BLOG and reply to all comments.....
I thank all daily visitors to this BLOG which was always a source of pride for me, sometimes there are 4000+++ daily visitors....
Thanks for all the reaction & messages, much much appreciated!
By the way added 30% RIOT @ $10.70.....rest remains unchanged....
Until Sunday.....the 5th January.....2025
Enjoy your Christmas & a very happy 2025!!!!
BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,
I wish the best for you always - you have guided countless through the treacherous waters of the markets over so many years. In good times and bad you were the shining beacon of light for confused or lost travelers. May your time to rest and recharge keep that light shining for many years to come!

Hi Saleem,
Last week: -1.75% (YTD: +9.04%)
Portfolio Leaders: SOUN BMR SRRK
Portfolio Laggards: RZLV UEC BITU
In a pullback week for the market after the Fed meeting, the portfolio performed decently thanks to a few solid winners. I don't actually think much changed post-Fed, but the market was looking for any excuse to take profits, and that was the moment. As usual, this has created fresh opportunities to rotate into new positions that could perform better going forward. As we enter the true Santa Claus rally days, I look towards stocks that could have a great 2025 versus just gliding into year-end from a great 2024. Happy Holidays to all! :)
Holdings: TNA(x4) CNK(x1.5) SRRK PLNT UEC ZENV, cash 15%

Hi Saleem,
Sold TNA @ 42.27 to raise cash for specific stocks
Bought SOUN in multiple tranches @ avg ~20.00
Bought OSIS in multiple tranches @ avg ~174.50
Bought ATOM in multiple tranches @ avg ~9.50
Bought PSNL @ 5.84
Added to CNK @ 30.85
Added to UEC @ 7.12
These are all the stocks (except maybe ATOM - that one I'm still learning more about) I think will have a specific 2025 with even more business momentum than 2024. Some of these are overweight versus my normal exposure just so I could be 100% exposed going into the next few weeks.
Holdings now: SOUN CNK UEC OSIS (all 1.5x), ZENV SRRK PLNT ATOM PSNL, cash 0%
