777 fall on jewish new year , page-24

I mentioned elsewhere, but it is my understanding that those of the Jewish persuasion had to make a decision to get out of stocks by last nights close as they can't trade again till Oct 10, because of religious holdidays.

So its not racist but a definite influence and commonly recognised as a period to watch in US financial circles.

The problem for most of us is that the dates are Jewish calendar and so the dates are different each year from the calendar most of us use.
