    This Monday, Thursday, I think Wednesday night, and next Monday are all dotted with dozens of small holidays... everyone seems to have mixed opinions... I'll be working today, but I couldn't think of a more random and painful set of work days! Liquidity will be all over the place, or nonexistent at all!
     
  2. Today's Holidays (Monday April 28, 2014):

    Afghanistan: Victory Day
    Barbados: National Heroes' Day
    Gibraltar: Workers' Memorial Day
    Iraq: Public Holiday (National Elections)
    Moldova: Memory/Parents' Day (Pastele Blajinilor)
    Sierra Leone: Independence Day Holiday
    South Africa: Public Holiday
    Wallis and Futuna: Saint Pierre-Chanel Day

    Is that it?
     
  3. I know independence day in Sierra Leone is big because a large amount of liquidity comes out of that nation.
