Millennials May Need to Boost Life Insurance| 11:04AM / Tuesday, October 29, 2019 | |
 If you're a Millennial – born between 1981 and 1996 – you're either in the very early or relatively early stages of your career, and as the old song goes, you've got a lot of living to do. Still, it's not too soon to think about a financial issue you may have overlooked: the need for life insurance.
Regarding this topic, Millennials need to ask three key questions:
* When should I purchase insurance? The answer to this question depends somewhat on your stage of Millennial-ism. If you're a young Millennial, perhaps just out of college, single and living in an apartment, your need for life insurance may not be that great. After all, you may well have other,

01:10AM / Monday, October 28, 2019 | |
Alex Morse listens to health-care concerns from North Berkshire residents. NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Since announcing his candidacy for the 1st Congressional District seat in July, Holyoke Mayor Alex Morse has been reaching out to every corner of the sprawling region to hear voter concerns.

@theMarket: Earnings Give Mixed SignalsBy Bill Schmick,
03:57PM / Friday, October 25, 2019 | |
 So far, third-quarter earnings results have been all over the place. A mixed bag of beats, in-line numbers, and some big disappointments have kept the stock market treading water. Companies such as Caterpillar, with large exposure to China, came in with lower than expected results. Boeing, another big Dow stock, also reported a 50 percent slide in earnings thanks to the problems generated by two crashes of their 737 Max aircraft. And yet, both stocks rallied on the news. Semiconductor company Texas Instruments also issued poor earnings, sales, and guidance, but in this case, investors not only punished the stock but trashed the entire semiconductor sector along with it. 0 Comments

'Judy': As Illustrated by RenéeBy Michael S. Goldberger, iBerkshires Film Critic
05:22PM / Thursday, October 24, 2019 | |
 Years ago, as I walked on Bleecker Street in The Village, a fellow weekend hippie in a granny dress ran up to me and excitedly exclaimed, "Chuck Berry is at So and So's apartment playing for donations." I didn't go, so I don't know if it was true. But I was gratified several years later during the Oldies Revival when a rediscovered Chuck Berry probably raked in more cash and deserved accolades than when first he queried, "Maybellene, why can't you be true?" Unfortunately, director Rupert Goold's "Judy," a traditionally constructed biopic about the great Judy Garland, while detailing an attempted career resurrection during a winter of 0 Comments

The Independent Investor: Will Trump Ruin Thanksgiving?By Bill Schmick,
05:19PM / Thursday, October 24, 2019 | |
 Nov. 21 will mark the deadline for the nation's lawmakers to approve a government budget for next year. Given the animosity between the two parties, the present all-encompassing focus directed at an impeachment inquiry, and the rage of many congressmen towards Trump's handling of the Syrian Crisis, is there any hope for a meeting of the minds when it comes to a budget resolution? Right now, I would say it is a good bet that Congress just does not have the time to pass all of the 12 annual spending bills that are required to fund the portions of the government that Congress controls. Some of those bills will come up for a vote next week. That should give us an indication on 3 Comments
