Hi guys, I have a quick question. Can anyone suggest an easy way to find on which business days the US exchanges were closed in 2000 and 2001? - i.e. the majority of other businesses were open, but not the exchanges. Thanks a bunch.
I mean I know I can always call them, but I'd have to wait until after the holidays and I'm kind of impatient to check something that promises to be really neat. TIA.
This should help for NYSE which is almost identical to CME. http://www.nyse.com/p1020773188697.html?displayPage=/about/1022963613686.html ebo
