'It's $10,000 that's on the line.' Borrowers who used Pell grants decades ago can't find proof and worry they will lose Biden's relief.

"I wouldn't have been able to pay for college, being one of eight children with a single mother had it not been for that Pell grant," she said. The White House has said of the borrowers eligible to receive relief under the cancellation plan, over 60%, or 27 million, used a Pell grant. Did you use a Pell grant before 1994 and have proof? When he was there the oldest Pell grant data was stored on magnetic tape, a precursor to the floppy disk, Bergeron said. Borrowers likely can't count on their schools to confirm that they used a Pell grant.

The silver lining of this year's stock and bond bear markets

Just take what has happened to annuity rates during this year's stock and bond bear markets. The accompanying chart illustrates how annuity payout rates are closely correlated with interest rates on investment grade corporate bonds. Though annuity payout rates for females are different than for males, I'd reach the same conclusion if I focused on their payout rates instead.) The more usual pattern is for interest rates to decline during many stock bear markets, for example--which is why bonds often provide a cushion again stocks' losses during bear markets. Rather than bonds cushioning the stock bear market, this year they have suffered a bear market of their own.

This sugar alternative made from discarded plants boosts your fiber intake and is kinder to Earth

Right now, that's mostly through sugar cane and sugar beets, as well as high-fructose corn syrup. But the nutrional significance is explained: the fiber-derived sugar behaves like traditional sugar in food but retains certain fiber-based qualities. "And yet at the same time, fiber is the most abundant thing produced by the food system and we just throw it away. Our whole food system is really sort of topsy turvy in a really strange way." World's thirstiest cropRethinking the traditional sugar crops can also potentially benefit sustainability and environmentally regenerative agriculture.

Stocks usually do well after the midterms. Not this time, forecasts BlackRock

Well, not this time says the team of analysts at BlackRock led by Wei Li, global chief investment strategist. Stocks tend to do well after the U.S. midterms, they note, because gridlock is a common result, and this prevents policy changes that could rattle the market. However: "We see a bigger problem for stocks than any potential positives from the midterm election outcome: a looming recession. All this outweighs any expected boost for stocks after the midterms, in our view...We're underweight developed market equities," BlackRock concludes. The buck also gained against the pound as traders waited for next Wednesday's Federal Reserve decision on interest rates.
