First up: market’s seem to be mellowing slightly, but that doesn’t mean we’re out of the volatile, volatile woods. We look at what that could mean for interest rates. Next, financial planners are telling people to stay the course and think about the long term, but what if you don’t have that kind of time? Finally, you can sing the “Happy Birthday” song all you want but be careful about putting it in that screenplay you’re working on. Believe it or not, the copyright is owned by Warner/Chappell Music, and they’ve been known to charge six figures for its use.

There’s a lot happening in the world.  Through it all, Marketplace is here for you. 

You rely on Marketplace to break down the world’s events and tell you how it affects you in a fact-based, approachable way. We rely on your financial support to keep making that possible. 

Your donation today powers the independent journalism that you rely on. For just $5/month, you can help sustain Marketplace so we can keep reporting on the things that matter to you.
