Stock Traders After Closing Bell |
|
What do stock traders do after the closing bell? I just thought of asking today when I thought the closing bells rings at 4:00 eastern time. I had know for a while that the bell rang at about that time, but I had never thoght about what stock traders do after the closing bell until today.

3. I believe there are many stocks that trade after hours |
|
plus stock exchanges around the world to fret about. Plus vermouth and gin, shaken - not stirred.

4. when i worked at the nyse, they did what a |
|
waitress would call 'side work'. you know, filling the ketchup bottles, wrapping the silverware, that kinda stuff. of course, this was MANY years ago. nowadays they probably do all their insider trading after the bell. :evilgrin:

5. Finish up the paperwork until 5 or 6 |
|
maybe watch foreign markets until midnight or so if they're go-getters, or just do a half assed job on the paperwork and get to a bar ASAP.
