You notice the close on 9/10 and the open on 9/11 is the same - ooppss there is a 30 cent difference.
Now, futures were traded overnight - but that is reflected as soon as the market opens, not before. Those futures take affect at market opening.
so, that is why I am very confused and had not noticed before the opening on 9/17/01 did not reflect the last closing on 9/10.
See what I mean? Why - to me that says something as much as the same numbers from yesterday to 8 years ago, and if it isn't based on the closing
bell - futures had been traded before, but the number stayed the same for the whole week from 9/10 to 9/17.
Anyway, it is just an observation - but funny how the numbers didn't reflect a 700 point difference from when the market had last been opened.
So, will we have some drops this coming week?
I think we may. Will it be as drastic as the hidden 700 from the market numbers on the 17th of Sept.? Who knows - except for the people who
manipulated the market to have these numbers reflecting 8 years ago.
