When he is sworn in next week, President-Elect Joe Biden will be coming in with the biggest market tailwind after an Election Day since 1952.    Already, stocks have risen on the belief that more stimulus is just around the corner, and Biden shared a huge plan on that front, yesterday.    "You could argue this is [virus]-related and therefore what is most important going forward is to see the logistics of the vaccines, inoculations gain orderly momentum," said said Quincy Krosby of Prudential Financial.

But how can you fix them?   There are several parts of your home network that could act as a choking point for internet speeds. For example, if your internet connection is 300 Mbps, but your router's ports can transfer only 100 Mbps because they're not gigabit Ethernet ports, your whole network would then be limited to 100 Mbps instead of the full 300 Mbps.   But if you already have equipment that's paired correctly to what your ISP is sending you, simply upgrading your gear won't help.   The age-old unplug and reboot trick can actually help sometimes, so it should be your first step in trying to fix your download problems. If that doesn't work, try relocating your wireless router. Things in your home can block the WIFI signal and slow it down. Finally, make sure you don't have too many devices using up your bandwidth at one time.   For a full list of easy ways to fix your internet download speeds, be sure to keep reading!

The movement began in the 19th century with "temperance societies" that were concerned about the dangers of drinking. By the end of the century, they'd become a powerful political force. After starting their campaign at the state level, they took their fight national, proposing total abstinence for America.    While the 18th Amendment was actually passed in December of 1917, it wasn't until January 16 of the following year that it was ratified.    Here's what happened next… More From History   Ivan the Terrible crowns himself the first Czar of Moscow This monarch was sentenced to death in the French Revolution The first modern novel (and one of the greatest) hits the press for the first time Stay Informed,  Rex Jackson   P.S.
