Similar to the “PIIGS” which is an acronym for Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain, the FANG is short-hand for four of the most popular and used stocks in the market. If you are trying to decide where to begin building wealth consider FANG as a possible starting point.

Four out of 10 of the poorest U.S. students are accessing remote learning as little as once a week or less, according to a new survey from ParentsTogether, an advocacy group. By contrast, for families making more than $100,000 a year, 83% of kids are doing distance learning every day, with the majority engaged over two hours a day, the survey found.
