Stock Markets Closing Early On ‘Black Friday’ Is A Ill-Conceived, Meaningless Gesture Which Is Neither ‘Here-Nor-There’.

Yes, of course, I understand the gesture, the goal. It is to give the folks on ‘Wall Street’ a long-weekend to coincide with Thanksgiving. I get that.

But, making them come in for 1/2 a day, when Thursday was a full holiday makes it silly.

So, they get Thursday off, but have to come in on Friday till 1pm (or 2pm).

Yes, I assume that those that can, just take the Friday off. That then does give them a full 4-day break.

I like to trade daily. I missed out today because I had stuff to do this morning. But, I don’t have a problem if the markets are closed, ALL DAY, on Black Friday. We can survive. In a way, it is good. A break from trading. A time to take stock, quite literally, reflect & think of where you want to go next.

This 1pm close bugs me every Black Friday. Things that don’t make sense rankle I.

That is all. I just wanted to go on record. SMILE. I am now done (till next year).
