Out of curiosity, how do you feel about the relatively new market holiday? • Strongly support it • Neutral — a day off is a day off • Prefer the markets remain open • Doesn’t impact my business either way For those who have been in the industry a long time, has Juneteenth become just another market holiday, or do you still see mixed opinions among advisors, clients, and firms? Me, I like the day off.

Hi all. I have yrs of experience in finance, never fired. Took an opportunity presented to me by a recruiter that seemed. like a good career move and was terminated after six weeks for “performance“.
