Quint and Logan talk about what happens when the market is not “open”. Whether it is extended markets or premarket Logan and Quint talk about how they utilize them. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz…
Okay, Jack, this is a great question.
And it's a really simple answer.
The market...
in what we would think of as the market, like a major stock exchange, for example, New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ, probably the two, not probably, the two largest stock exchanges where stocks are traded on a daily basis, they are open from 9.30 in the morning till 4 p.m.
However, Stocks
are
traded
beyond those two exchanges.
Most people don't realize that.
On dozens of other exchanges and often these are, and I don't know, look up for me what an ECN stands for because I don't even know what that stands for.
I'm an electronic something network.
These are exchanges that are smaller, not as well known, but probably do as much volume as the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ on any given day, and they are not only open from 9.30 to 4, like normal quote-unquote market hours, but they are often open most of them open pre-market, which I believe is 4 a.m. till the market opens and post-market, which is when the market closes at traditional market closes at 4 p.m. until about eight o'clock at night.
Um, and oh, by the way, um, That does not include futures exchanges, which in many instances, I believe, are open 24 hours a day except Friday overnight and Saturday.
They open, I think, close Friday night at 8, I think.
I'm doing this from memory.
And open again, definitely open again at 6 p.m. on Sunday night.
And so why? Why? Why is this a thing, first of all? It's a thing because we are a global market, meaning we are so interconnected now with other countries, other federal reserves.
wars, geopolitics, you name it, that major institutions, banks, hedge funds, you know, have locations all over the place.
And so when a geopolitical event happens in, you know, Europe or Asia, and it's impacting stocks that, you know, yes, could be based in the United States, but they have major presence over there.
there needs to be a mechanism by which those are traded.
And thus, we have not just ECNs, but we also have international exchanges where many of these stocks are traded as well.
So for all intents and purposes...
The market, quite honestly, never truly sleeps.
It really doesn't.
That being said, as an investor, passive investor especially, you know, do you want to know what's going on overnight? If you are kind of into that, sure.
