Note: During the holidays, the stock markets tend to have less activity based around them, due to traders taking time off and people tending to family and friends. The time around Passover, Good Friday, and Easter is no exception. Therefore Liquidity tends to run out and spreads widen around public holidays. If trading at this time, please exercise caution.
