Why do you say it’s a bear market? Not that you are alone in that. With such frequent rallies, can it really be a bear market? Or is a bear market something that can be recognized only after the fact?

To me it just does not have the ‘look and feel’ of a bear market. Not really.

Re: market’s closed for Good Friday

From NY Times:
Stock and commodity markets in the United States and Canada will be closed today in observance of Good Friday.

New York banks, the Post Office and all Federal, New York State and New York City offices will be open. Many banks in New Jersey and Connecticut will be closed, as will European currency markets. American currency markets will be open only in the morning.

I fail to understand why the stock and commodity markets (and some banks) are closed for a religious holiday in this day and age in the USA.

I have never worked at a company where Good Friday was a holiday. If you were Catholic, you could take a personal or vacation day, same as other religions have to do with their holiday’s.

IMO, it sets a bad example and encourages religious division when secular organizations declare a religious day, such as Good Friday, as a general holiday and shut their doors for the day.
