Still in hospital….

 Went to hospital @ 730 AM on Sunday 

New diagnosis “ Atrial Fibrillation “ popularly known as AFIB.

Also was suffering from Edema where my feet was swollen.

After many X-rays and many blood tests, it was revealed that I have fluid in my lungs also.

Was given 3 sets of IV of Metoprolol… result my heart rate remained stuck in 145 BPM

Was given blood thinner also

Monday Chemical version was given which brought my heart rate to 115…

Cardiologist hopefully will do an Echo on Tuesday which should give him satisfaction that there is no heart ailment beyond AFIB

Edema is being treated with draining fluid which is showing good results.

That is my updated summary of my health challenges, please keep me in your prayers.

Hopefully I am looking @ Wednesday to get home!

US stock market, too much fear...

 US stock market is going through severe " digestive phase " which IS being played to the hilt with " extreme negativity "

After a huge gains in many sectors, It was natural to have " usual normal pullback "

BUT negativity is so extreme that one may be forced to sell healthy stocks....

Many stocks are behaving and above major support.....

YES....Investors & traders need to see that strong stocks are a great place to be going forward....

YES....some " highly touted story stock " is looking very shaky and may pull back to its support or slightly below ....

On the other hand, most maligned stock " may have started its recovery "

In other words, do NOT go with popularity, when they may be looking " wobbly "

Always do your " own research " and make your own decision.....

Stock market is a " tough place to make money in the best of times "

YES there are favorite stocks which gets hourly sponsorship in research & push on CNBC...but it only goes so far.....

Conviction & patience is the key to making money....

Good luck with your own research & comfort level...

My health is stuck @ 80% level and getting more complication, have to visit hospital first thing in the morning. May have to spend whole day for tests / results / diagnosis / treatment / medicine.
