Must be in reaction to "No Deal" on government affairs. More than likely, well-connected individuals made money each time we've had wide swings in the market last week and many in Congress on both sides are probably benefiting from prior knowledge on what is going to be reported.

When the markets open Tuesday, we’ll see how much it means. It’s interesting that they’ve fallen to -105 TWO days prior to the market open, don’t you think?

Ant chance Wall Street will once again rally behind Obama’s programs? Along with the Dodd/Frank democrats, they brought us to the economic debacle we now have. Whereas main street business has stayed Republican, Wall Street has been obscenely in the Obama corner.

Heard that Boehner gave Obama what he wanted and Obama added amnesty.

For one of us, it means: "It's not so much what you don't know that will hurt you, it's what you know that ain't so."

This is no longer your father’s stock market.
I put no weight on what the market does, as it is now run by fat-cats with powerful computer programs doing the pump and dump. In a normal world, the market would have tanked long ago.

I’m sorry. It’s a bank holiday, government offices and post offices that are closed tomorrow. I jumped to a conclusion.

They are open. Columbus Day stopped being a decent holiday years ago.

Banks are open. They got rid of this holiday several years ago.

The thread is NOT supposed to be about what is open and what is closed, it’s about the Stock Futures Falling...

Nevertheless:

Some banks are open and some are closed.

It is a Federal Holiday, according to our local newspaper, but not an official holiday in every state (Michigan, for instance), so our state offices are open, some county offices are closed and Federal offices are closed. Many banks in our area are closed. Guess it just depends.

part of what is going to happen tonight/ tomorrow is because CME has tightened margins - announced after the close.

Since federal employees are being paid to not work, and tomorrow is a holiday when they will be doubly not working, does that mean that they’ll get double time over time for not working on the non workday?
