The Market Report: Buckle Up!
Breaking News! Did you accidentally wake up in a parallel universe? Because the stock market is currently closed on Sundays! cue dramatic music
Fear not, intrepid investor! While the markets may be taking a siesta today, you can rest assured that tomorrow they will be back in action. In the meantime, here's a sneak peek at how things were looking on Friday, April 12th:
Friday's Farewell Fling
- Market Direction: Downward spiral (for some)
- Opening Bell: Yawn Another day, another dollar. (Except maybe not quite a dollar...)
- Closing Bell: Dow Jones is feeling a little deflated, like a day-old soufflé. Nasdaq is also feeling a bit blue. But fear not! There were some winners too, like Coal India who seem to be burning hot !
Analyst's Take: Honestly, it's a mixed bag. Some folks are saying this is a temporary dip, while others are saying it's the ahem "beginning of the end." Whatever the case, one thing's for sure, the memes will be flowing regardless.

Bonus Section: What to do on a Sunday When the Stock Market is Closed
- Relax! The market isn't going anywhere (except maybe up or down, but that's beside the point).
- Go for a hike! Get some fresh air and exercise, and contemplate the beauty of nature instead of the beauty of a perfectly balanced portfolio.
- Catch up on some sleep! You'll need it for all the exciting (or terrifying) market action coming this week.
- Most importantly, don't forget to laugh! Because let's face it, the stock market can be a bit of a roller coaster sometimes, and sometimes you just gotta laugh to keep from crying.
