It is tradition to close U.S. markets during the funeral of a late president. The last closure was on January, 2, 2007, for the funeral of ex-president Gerald Ford. Markets also closed in June 2004 for Ronald Reagan and in April 1994 for Richard Nixon.
I have no problem with that.
Enjoy your day George. He was an honest gentleman. The last of his kind.
