[rsmith6621]

[no_hypocrisy]

1. The question is more like will Wall Street be open by Thursday.

2. One way or another there will be fat cats and wet rats

in their buildings :evilgrin:

3. my gut feeling is no. and if the do open it will be a late start

4. Remember the economic damage after 911?

The longer they remain closed...


But here enjoy a well connected rat. Must be a BOA exec...

5. Read on the twitter feed in the Press of Atlantic City that they're

predicting sunshine and 80 degree temps... www.pressofatlanticcity.com

6. I don't think so. Con Ed said it will take a "few" days to restore power to

lower Manhattan (that they cut to protect live lines/cables from salt water) and the subways will not reopen until "late" Monday (assuming afternoon).

8. The NYSE has its own emergency generators ...

... as do many of the large office buildings that house the investment firms.

7. The NYSE has their own backup generators in case of a power outage.

So unless something more substantial than a power loss occurs, they will probably stay open.
