I had to spend a couple of days in hospital for irregular heartbeat. Actually, I do a lot of boxing, tae kwon do, weightlifting, and running and have had the irregular heartbeat for 2 years and it never really affected me. Now, will just do all that while taking heard medication.
Hope all is well with your heart and the medication works.

Glad to hear you are doing better.
I have similar kind of thing going on, and have many stories to tell (most of them very funny, and there are a lot). Luckily, they are giving the an 'all free and clear' diagnosis so far, but I've been through so many tests and they continue to keep an eye on it. Some of it may likely be due to running, but that's not provable, My most recent sleep study indicates an average sleeping heart rate of - get this - 31.9 bpm. And consider that that is just the average - so it is likely going much lower at times.

I can't relate to any of you because I'm still young and healthy.
No recession happening anytime soon. Starting to look like a bit of a boom. Wild stuff, as the Fed flails at the economy trying to shut it down. Imagine how strong stocks will be when the fed stops.
Latest estimate: 2.8 percent — February 27, 2023
First of all, good luck and health to Sally. I hope the meds work for you, brother.
Second of all, I agree that no recession is happening anytime soon...certainly not one declared by the NBER who didn't even say the last one was a recession (it was...super shallow, but it was one). I don't necessarily see a boom in the very near future, but one is coming for sure. We are still seeing unprecedented things happening as a result of the pandemic, so it's even more difficult than usual to determine what will happen, but here is one thing that will for sure happen...the longer this market stays stagnant, the bigger and faster it will grow when it finally starts to head north again.

Yeah, but the big unknown is how the Fed will react to an economy that is reluctant to slow and to a tight labor market, and of course, to that pesky inflation. All indications are that the Fed envisions inflation pressures persisting for a while and they keep saying that rates will need to remain high for a while as well. And a hawkish Fed will dampen stock stock appreciation.

Unemployment still at an all time low.
All you need to know
unemployment is the laggiest of indicators...people don't get fired until things are really in the garbage. So I wouldn't hang a hat on unemployment.
My memory is that stock returns are usually quite bad after a trough in unemployment....because that usually means little further growth can be had.

If The Fed continues raising rates and/or doesn't lower them again for an extended time, all that MIGHT do is slow things down, and the end result will be an even bigger and faster stock market climb.
Inflation is already falling. The Fed needs to keep hands off at this point and just let the market forces do what they will (but it likely won't). As much as The Fed wants to slow the labor market, it can't physically produce workers. Baby Boomers are retiring and NOT even taking part-time jobs. Fewer immigrants came here because of the pandemic and (a TINY bit) because of that America First nonsense, and, what is overlooked by too many is that we had more than a decade of strong market returns, enabling tons of people to retire fully or retire early and not worry about having to go back to work.
Unless there is a change in the attitudes of young adult Americans wanting to have children, we will NEED to increase immigration here to keep up with the work demand...from doctors to computer programmers to service workers.

This low unemployment rate shows no signs of changing anytime soon. Just too much pressure from Baby Boomers out of the market, Americans having fewer babies for decades now, fewer immigrants here recently due to the pandemic and America First nonsense, and the more than a decade of strong market growth that has enabled lots of people to step away from working...all of that leads to those who want to work being able to find work. It will take much more than a cyclical change to make that unemployment rate go up significantly.

or if housing prices fall a lot and all those early retirees wake up and realize they can't live anymore on their home equity. Then they go back to work.
If I could change one thing in the world it would be to put a price cap on ice cream. After that I would legally require ol'gente to provide a topic sentence in every post.
You are tasking us to go look up things, gente. Come on. It ain't right. Tell us what you are showing and use any link as backup evidence in case we want to see it.
Looking like we'll bust down through the moving average. Not bullish short term. We'll get mass selling if the SP500 falls below the 200 day by a percent.

We were in Rome late last year, delighted to see you could still buy a coffee nearly anywhere that working stiffs went for a euro or less. Not sure there was a price cap per se, but maybe just collective agreement among polite society that the best things in life should stay affordable. 🙂
I kinda prefer that gente doesn’t spoon feed us and instead makes us think a bit. Not always easy to follow, but easier than our long lost compadre maserati.

yeah the price of espresso it Italia might be one reason I am named after a six-legged Italian pooch.
thing is, gente knows so much more than I do about the stuff he posts...It'll take me a long time to figure out what he is saying and even then I might get it wrong. Often I'll just shrug and go do something else, missing out on what Gente has to tell us.
meanwhile, 10 year is up to 4.07%. Not helpful to stocks but not a huge deal either....interest rates were higher in the past during bull markets.
FWIW, the Fed thinks CPI will be in the 4% range in March. here's hoping.
Earnings Scorecard: For Q4 2022 (with 99% of S&P 500 companies reporting actual results), 69% of S&P 500 companies have reported a positive EPS surprise and 65% of S&P 500 companies have reported a positive revenue surprise.
Wild that powell makes noises about higher rates but bonds ignore him. 10 year yield is actually down on the day. Shorter term yields up but just a smidge.
bond market is saying inflation is in remission. Of course the bond market has been wrong a lot ove the last five years.
But yeah stocks don't like to hear this. But remember that the reason for powell's comments is essentially that the economy is strong. Which is good for stocks, generally.
The inflation nowcast actually says PCI and CPI headline are running at just 3-3.5%. That's really good news. That's an inflation rate everyone can live with, and with rents coming down that number should fall.
