Thanksgiving

juve · Nov 18, 2008

Hello,

Considering Thursday is Thanksgiving in the United States I would imagine Futures and Stock Markets are closed?

If they are closed why are there Economic reports expected out on Thursday?

Thanks

Ooops,

thanks bud, in any case I was wondering if most people will be taking a long weekend(Thursday and Friday Off) making trading dead on Friday.

Any Thoughts?

I myself have not worked a Friday after Thanksgiving in nearly 20 years. Stocks may be thin,

The "family" guys will take a 5-day weekend. The "single" guys will be trading.

LOL. I didn't even realize they were still around.

Were you trading back then (1998)?

BAMM was up something like 1000% the day after Thanksgiving. Probably sold like 10 books, but had 10,000 "page views".
