Welcome to your long weekend, traders! The trading week kicked off with Bernie Madoff sentenced to 150 years in jail – good riddance, I say. Otherwise, things are calmer for a change, probably due to the short trading week. (Mark your calendars: Friday, July 3, is Independence Day observed and a market holiday.)What else is cooking? Yet more new faces on the TradeKing Leaderboard this week, including Termite, Triple_Nickel and nygiantsman (who was also featured in a recent All-Stars profile of real-world traders). Sharp trading, everyone!
If you’re one of (apparently) many TK traders dabbling in pharma stocks and FDA approval-date speculations, there are several new forum threads you should check out. Or if you’re already ready for some weekend fun, check out this thread about what traders do for excitement when it’s NOT 8-11am or 3-4:30pm ET.
As always, I want to send a special shout-out to the U.S. armed services stationed throughout the world today. We really do appreciate your service and the freedoms you’re working hard to help protect. Thanks for your dedication!
I’ll keep this short, folks, and speed you to your weekend – enjoy, and happy Independence Day!
