The NASDAQ Stock Market, along with other major exchanges, will be observing Veterans Day on Friday, November 10th 2006.
NASDAQ will observe a two-minute remembrance from 11:00 a.m. - 11:02 a.m., Eastern Time (ET), to honor our nation's Veterans. During this time, NASDAQ officials will ask market participants to refrain from trading activity to honor Americans who have served our country in war and peace, as well as those who are currently serving.
Please note that trading will not be halted during this time. NASDAQ asks market participants to use their best judgment and sensitivity in regards to trading during the moment of silence.
NASDAQ will display the American Flag on its seven-story Tower in Times Square during the moment of silence. Networks interested in using the Tower for a bump shot can do so during this time.
