Overnight equity index trading in Chicago ist actually open. So, if someone needs to hedge or close their positions... this is the time to do it.
Meh. If I was in CT now, gas in the 5 year old Gallardo is all that would matter. Maybe perhaps some .40 in the magazine too............
everthing should be virtual.we don't even need a NYSE .the powers that be don't want to change. Nobody remembers the storm in 1992?that was much more severe than this one.can't remember which day of the week it hit.i don't recall anything shut down then. Im just outside of NYC.Its not that bad.some wind at rain.no reason to close the city
The storm surge is expected to be large, that is the problem. Flooded subways and flooded Brooklyn (happening now) are bad. The rain will freeze tomorrow night with the winter storm that will hit. :eek:
Seriously? Do you have any clue wtf is going on here? My apartment is ok because I'm 5 stories up, but I left my shore house earlier today when the power went out. The wind was unbelievable, and the hurricane was still far away. I give it 50/50 that my dock and wave runners are still there in the morning. Hoping everyone is safe. Material stuff can be replaced. All the best ET'ers.
yes but there have been a number of more severe weather events over the last 125 years, none of which merited this kind of response. So I find it puzzling.
NYC saw Category 3 hurricanes in 1939, 1944, 1954 (August and September), as well 1960. And those are just the Cat-3s. Sandy was barely Category 1 before it got downgraded to a tropical storm. Not only is this NOT the "biggest storm to hit the east coast in modern history", it's arguably not among the past century's top ten. Why do people so love to hype this stuff?

The high surf that had inundated some homes in Brigantine beach, NJ, also brought in sea life â including the shark. <img src='http://www2.wbtw.com/mgmedia/image/0/0/391600/shark-yard/'>
