The Good Friday Three-Day Weekend

This year, it's going to be Festering Friday, followed by two days of issues fermenting into something frightening. So I think.

The market closed down again yesterday, and trading won't resume until Monday. That's going to lead to three days of the market rotting in the Spring sunshine, I think. And meanwhile, our orange-faced leader will be saying more stupid things for us to consider.

Hold the safety bar tightly, folks. This ride is going to be scarier than you think.

that occurs on or after the vernal equinox, March 21. Christians didn't choose April 20 for Easter because it's also Hitler's birthday; they've been calculating it this way since the Middle Ages.
