Please note that the markets will close on Tuesday, July 3rd at 1:00 pm Eastern Time. The market also will be closed on Wednesday, July 4th. So if anyone wondered why all the CallWriter lists cut off at or before 1:00 pm today, that is the reason.

The market will reopen at the normal time on Thursday morning, July 5th.

If a stock that you own was up or down on a short trading day, the movement is fairly meaningless. The reason is that everyone’s (the market’s) attention is on the holiday; and many traders left early… or didn’t come in. So unless your stock was a bottle rocket or really slid on a short day, it is almost always of little concern.
