Trading holidays 2012
1 Jan 2012
Best wishes to all of you, hope you survived the weekend and nobody got hurt playing with fireworks. The year 2011 was quite a trading year. Two brief periods of market panic and elevated volatility levels all year long. No casualties among the ranks of market makers for a change. Alas, two brokers were forced to throw in the towel (Amstel and Aespen).
The year 2012 starts with January 1st being a sunday, but the market will close exactly twice as often as previous year. With closed markets I mean scheduled public holidays, not the frequent market shut down caused by system trouble at Euronext.
- Friday 6 April 2012 (Good Friday)
- Monday 9 april 2012 (Easter Monday)
- Tuesday 1 May 2012 (Labour day)
- Tuesday 25 December 2012 (Christmas)
- Wednesday 26 December 2012 (Boxing Day)
In addition, markets will close early on December 24th and 31th. Same calendar applies for the Eurex, but with their foreign derivatives you may wish to double check here.

RT @FDlaatstenieuws: Goldman Sachs opent kantoor Amsterdam http://dlvr.it/13n3sd #fd – zal wel niet veel worden. Net als de vorige keer toen Wim den Hartog een Clearingkantoor opende in WTC. Wim den Hartog, je weet wel…

RT @ FDlaatstenieuws: Goldman Sachs opens Amsterdam office http://dlvr.it/13n3sd # fd – will probably not be much. Just like last time when Wim den Hartog opened a clearing office at WTC. Wim den Hartog, you know …

IMC on top again, optiver following suit. Hilgers is definitely not a Billionaire, but a few dutch houses made a billion revenues this year.

Optiver have had seven conferences with the CFTC to resolve their case. When is there going to be a result?

Calling bullshit on any dutch market maker making a billion in trading.

This is not bad. You have to check it out. Very appropriate for the oude mensen in our midst whom stood on the floor in the good old days.

@12.35 Evidence on this or otherwise shut up please.

there’s no need of evidence, its of course not true, and if it is, the truth would come out in due time, with their accounting reports,
anonymous

There’s a lot that can be hidden in accounting. Or do you think Hilgers exposes his vast wealth for everyone to see?
anonymous

well if top line can be hidden from accounting statement, then nobody can be sure of anything really, the question is redundant to begin with in that case,

@ 10:28pm As a regular reader of this blog and its comments, I noticed that you seem overly obsessed by Mr. Hilgers and his, according to you, humongous wealth.Your obsession seems to be getting out of hand. Also here applies: evidence or keep silent.
