The US Stock markets will be closed today due to Hurricane Sandy. Normally this wouldn't be an issue since my desired holding period is forever, but I was hoping to get a chance to pick up some more shares in great DG companies since the futures were pointing to another 100 point drop for the DJIA. So much for that with the closed markets.
*Update - US markets will be closed again on Tuesday. This storm isn't physically going to affect me but it's proving to be quite annoying. I hope that everyone that has been/will be affected will be safe.
