Bangor: Its Points of Interest and Its Representative business men; including an historical sketch of Brewer

Introduction It is less than 130 years since the first permanent settlement bv white men was made upon the banks of the Penobscot, or long after towns had heen established in other parts of the present State of Maine, very few of which possesed natural advantages comparable with those offered along the valley of Maine\u27s noblest river, but these advantages. although appreciated to some extent by the English colonists in this region, were neutralized so far as they were concerned by the fact that the French held absolute and almost undisputed sway over the Penobscot country and would have quickly destroyed any English settlement in that section. The seventeenth century had barely opened when the French made their first appearance on the Penobscot, for they arrived as early as 1603, and subsequently made frequent visits, mainly for the purpose of establishing and extending trade relations with the Indians, with whom they were on the most amicable terms. The Penobscot Indians belonged to the famous Tarratine tribe, and as regards intelligence, knowledge, honor, skill and industry were far above the average and had reached a degree of civilization paralleled by but very few other Indian tribes in the country. Hence they fully appreciated the advantages to he gained by trading with the French, and not only allowed them to traverse the country unmolested, but welcomed their coming and honorably fulfilled all trade and other agreements made with them.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1203/thumbnail.jp

The Covid-19 Pandemic and the Consumer Staples Sector: A Test of Market Efficiency

On Wednesday March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the covid 19 outbreak a global pandemic (Cucinotta, 2020). How efficient is the consumer staples market reaction to the announcement of a global pandemic? The purpose of this study is to examine the risk adjusted returns on and around the pandemic announcement to test the semi-strong form market efficiency hypothesis using the standard event study methodology in the finance literature. Will returns in the consumer staples industry show larger than expected gains on and surrounding the WHO’s COVID-19 pandemic announcement? The finance literature offers little evidence supporting the link between pandemics and the stock market. The announcement of a pandemic by the WHO should significantly and quickly affect the market. According to Eugene Fama (1970), if the market is semi-strong form efficient, all public information is immediately factored into the market and no investor can use this information to achieve an above normal return when adjusted for risk. To study this relationship, data for the S&P 500 and 10 consumer staples sector firms were collected for the event period surrounding the announcement of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study tests the global pandemic announcement for semi-strong form market efficiency (Bacon &Howell 2021). Evidence here supports the expected positive signal associated with the sample of consumer staples sector firms in reaction to the announcement of the pandemic. Likewise, the study results support the semi-strong form efficient market hypothesis and suggest the possibility of trading on this information up to 15 days prior to the announcement consistent with the behavioral finance literature (Bacon & Howell 2021)
