Kevin S asked:
Or is it 24 hours, 5 days per week, 52 weeks per year?
I have two people saying that there are no holidays and one that says there are a few. Anyone seeing this mind rating their answers or giving me a link? Thanks!
Thank you all for your answers. Say it is the 4th of July. Would I expect the New York exchange to be closed, while the market remained remained open 24 hours from another exchange? Or would New York remain open as it is electronic, and there would just be lower volume as both bigger players and traders took off?
