Senate nears 370 billion deal for coronavirus small business loan programs

We have put to rest the first half of 2022, and we cannot say we’ll miss it. The stock market suffered its worst first half since 1970, with the S&P 5000 falling nearly 20 percent since the start of the year. The broad index is down 21 percent from its high in early January and has been in bear market territory since early June. There are some who will take comfort in the fact that the 1970 first quarter bear market was followed by a solid rebound. We are not so confident. The effective Fed Funds rate at that time was dropping from 9.25 percent in December of 1969 to 4.74 percent in December of 1970. In other words, the Fed was loosening the stance of monetary policy.

If you're searching for home internet service providers in the Atlanta area, you're most likely coming up with two or three main options. AT&T and Xfinity are widely available, and select neighborhoods have access to Google Fiber . While having more options to choose from would be nice, all three of these are among our top picks for the best internet providers nationwide. If you want more choices, you'll likely have to go wireless. T-Mobile , Verizon and Yomura Air all send internet signals throughout much of Atlanta, but the overall value of each service will depend on the speeds available at your specific address.
