The NYSE is closed today?

I know it's a day of mourning for Bush Sr.'s passing, but, the NYSE?

Was this disingenuous because of the stock causalities that were incurred this week?

Frankly, I wonder how much of that decline was due to foreign investors realizing that their gravy train has jumped the tracks.

Yesterday's tumble of the DOW got a lot of people's undies in a knot, I'm sure.
