Wall Street closed

[colonial dr]

I was really looking forward to trading through November before the low volume in December hits (and I take all days off )..........oh well.

Volume will likely be back Wednesday. It will be interesting if price action is wild or not.

Honestly, who would believe the S&P would move up or down more than 10 points today and tomorrow any ways?

Quote from Maverick74:

Evacuation order has been given for NY. All trains into the city will be closed tomorrow. NYSE will most likely be closed. Just a heads up...

Have you heard anything regarding Tuesday?

ok, this is the first weather-related shutdown of NYSE for two consecutive days since 1888.

1888?! Really?! WTF?!

I could only imagine what would happen if this occurred during options and futures expiration

Well that's pretty infrequent, yes?

Lowest pressure (and largest) storm on record N of Cape Hatteras.

Seriously now, all kidding aside... it's easy to tell who the non-U.S. based gamblers needing a fix are.

This is the biggest storm to hit the east coast in modern history... from North Carolina to Maine, inland to West Virginia and Canada.

Barometer readings are 27 and falling. And they think the biggest concern for NYC is their ability to push two-lot ES trades tomorrow? Seriously?

Hell, this storm has been widely tracked and pin-point forecasted for a week now. Anyone who isn't squared up and level on trades has zero excuses for that.

I feel bad for those of you who have not prepared and Im not talking about getting $60.00 out of your ATM. Just the fact that you are in the most densely populated part of the country and may be without service of anything for any amount of time is a scary thought. I wish you guys the best of luck. Please take this seriously.

So what, every financial company gives to it's employees remote access from home. Weather conditions are not excuse for the markets to be closed. Everything should be virtual nowadays, after all today is not 1888.
