Hi Dave - When I was writing about an efficient market, I was thinking of a time yet to come when 24/7 would be routine on an international basis. I think trading can go on 'round the clock because people have always been willing to do night-shift work in order to support themselves. Of course there would still be days like Friday when everyone is waiting for the next market leaders to emerge. Pre- holiday trading days are usually thin as well. In the past, I have been able to take advantage of that if I wanted to buy a thinly traded low-priced stock. That should continue to be good for us AIMers. We'll need an alarm system however when the inevitable unforeseen events trigger a sell-off while we sleep. I think you're right about 24/7 creating thin markets initially though. After all, it's new to stock traders and everyone is going to want to see a trend line on their charts before they commit to any strategy. I think currency traders already have extended trading hours, however, so maybe we should look there for a model of things to come. Just a thought...
