MONEY and the Stock Markets

By A.I.

As economist Jason Furman pointed out, 250 years ago the Continental Congress created a brand-new currency and authorized the printing of $2 million worth to help George Washington pay his soldiers and procure weapons and supplies for the war effort.

Markets: Until now, Wall Street has mostly shrugged off the Israel–Iran conflict in the Middle East, with the S&P 500 and NASDAQ closing just a hair lower for the week on Friday. But, investors’ thinking might—or might not—change this coming week, after the US entered the war on Saturday with strikes on key Iranian nuclear infrastructure.

And, eyes are on oil prices, which, due to the war, are having their most volatile stretch since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.

Consumer Fraud in the Health Insurance Marketplace

Don’t be a Victim of Consumer Fraud in the Health Care Marketplace 

Beware of…

People asking for money to enroll you in Marketplace or “Obamacare” insurance. Legitimate enrollment agents will NOT ask for money.

High-pressure visits, mail solicitations, e-mails, and phone calls from people pretending to work for the government. No one should threaten you with legal action if you do not sign up for a plan. Always ask for identification if someone comes to your door.

People you did not contact who request personal information. They may be trying to steal your identity. No one from the government will call or email you to sell you an insurance plan or ask for personal identifying information. Be careful when giving out personal information, such as credit card, banking, or Social Security numbers.

Sham websites. Always look for official government seals, logos or website addresses.

Note: If you are a Medicare beneficiary, you do NOT need to buy insurance in the new Health Insurance Marketplace.
