Anonymous Coward User ID: 75496732 Brazil 12/02/2018 04:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When other former US presidents died, did they close the stock market? Seems odd... I don't remember after other former US presidents passed away, the current president shutting down Wall Street. Did this happen before? Why would this be done?
Any links appreciated... |

Quoting: Primus_LightFootMilitia Seems I'm going to close my own thread... WSJ: "U.S. financial markets, in a tradition that dates back to the 1800s, will be closed Friday for the funeral of former President Ronald Reagan." [ link to www.wsj.com (secure)] |

Interesting. I suppose that it's to prevent an attack on a vulnerable day? |

Quoting: MissCleo So it won't embarrass them when the markets go up. I don't have the time or the crayons to explain this to you.

This is the first time since Hurricane Sandy in October 2012 that the stock market will be closed on a regular trading day- Trump has declared a day of mourning. Still messing with them I would say. Keeps all his enemies unstable. Plus timing, isn't this the week of certain inquiries into the dark operations of the Demoncrats to destroy a sovereign nation for the cause of their global taskmasters? MAGA |
