Market players are focused on key testimony about interest rates and jobs that starts this morning. More on that. Plus, Comcast stock is up a bit after the cable and media content company reported fourth quarter profits up from a year earlier. This a few weeks before federal regulators are scheduled to decide whether to allow a merger with Time Warner Cable. And underground water and drain pipes in America are often state of the art … if we were living in 1915. Money to replace and upgrade has been in short supply. But in the nation’s capital, the utilities are embarking on a $2.6 billion dollar remedy in the form of a tunnel.
