484.2Blizzard delaying market opening2155::michaudJeff Michaud - ObjectBrokerMon Jan 08 1996 13:4913
	No sense creating a new topic for this so ....

	FYI, most markets that will be open today (NYSE, NASDAQ) are having
	a delayed opening today scheduled for 11am.  And the news just in
	is that the NYSE (and NASDAQ will likely follow suit) will also be
	closing early at 2pm.

	Some of the other markets are not opening at all today (some of
	the commedities markets).

	The Blizzard of '96 is taking it's toll ....
	(the last time the NYSE delayed opening due to snow was back in
	Feb. of '78 .....)

    What I don't understand is why NASDAQ ("license to steal") had 
    a delayed opening. They don't have a trading floor!

484.4It takes two to do the dealASDG::WATSONDiscover AmericaTue Jan 09 1996 15:155
    CNBC speculated that because NYC houses most of the NASDAQ traders,
    that they were having difficulty getting to their office/brokerage
    to do any trading.  The delay was to get more players on-line.
    
    Just speculation last I heard.
