That The U.S. Stock Markets Are Open On ‘Veterans Day’ Always Puzzles & Distresses Me.

Never makes sense. It is a U.S. Federal Holiday. As such there is NO U.S. postal delivery (though I have a sneaking suspicion that they might NOW be making an exception for ‘special’ priority mail). Most of the BIG banks, such as ‘Bank of America‘ are closed. The U.S. Bond Markets are closed. But, not the U.S. stock markets.

That is not right. Yes, I like having the markets open, & as soon as I post this I will be checking to see what is happening & whether I could/should do some trades. [I can’t help it. I am addicted to stock/option trading. Though definitely NOT a day trader, & never have been, I like to do some trading everyday.]

It is something to think about. Maybe down the road it would change. Let’s hope so.


Don’t forget that I have a dedicated ‘Red Poppy‘ page on my old blog.
