Here is a new trading word. . . . . . . . "Holidility"

Holidility [Hol-i-dil-i-ty] 1999 noun

Literally "Holiday Volatility", otherwise known as the "Day-After-Thanksgiving Effect". The additional volatility that hits the stock market, when large size traders, Market Makers and Fund Managers take days off, specifically around the holidays. During such a period, independent investors are known to trade vigorously and bid up their favorite stocks, using the internet and their online stock brokerage accounts. Stocks are known to rise extraordinary amounts during this volatile period. Then when the large traders
return, these stocks are then squashed like bugs. Which provides opportunity for individual investors to profit in both directions.

During this period of extraordinary holiday induced volatility or holidility, the following chant is often recited by individual investors:

When Wall Street Fat Cats are away. . .the Individual Investors mice will play
