The first Columbus Day celebration was held in 1792, when New York City celebrated the 300th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' landing in the New World.
Today I'm celebrating the 516 year of his great accomplishment!
Since 1971, the holiday has been commemorated in the U.S. on the second Monday in October. It is generally observed today by banks, the bond market, the U.S. Postal Service and other federal agencies, most state government offices, and many school districts; however, most businesses and stock exchanges remain open.
Maybe with the stock market being open, extra people having a longer weekend, the numbers of the market will go up. I'm not holding my breath.
I think I'll go take a nap and then see what happens!
