Thursday

Many stock markets (including the NASDAQ and NYSE) will be closed tomorrow.

So will banks in some states.

So I suspect that some paydays may have gotten moved up.

IMO, this, plus most of the federal government getting paid on Wednesday, created an impetus to invest employee stock plan cash today.
