How nice to wake up to a full five-day working week. No special Albanian Cabbage God celebration. No federally-sanctioned time off due to Pansexual Awakening Month. None of it. Just good old work.
It would be nicer if the steady burn-off in prices that took place all through Sunday night had held on, but no, the magical Midnight hour arrived, and it all went away. I also saw that Squirrel mentioned a “special rebalancing” that was mysteriously announced by the NASDAQ, clearly with the hope of propping up nominal index data for the sake of Ma & Pa Kettle retail investors.
