Thanks for the heads up. I have GOOGL options expiring Friday. I did not know Thursday was a holiday. Thursday holiday is OK, but next year it will be on Friday. I must pay more attention.
I think you may be relying too much on hope, random chance and prayer in your trading perspective if you're bothered and agitated by shortened holiday weeks. Reevaluate things from a different vantage point to gain some clarity and wisdom in the process
