[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The heaviest hitters work when markets are open. Thats “bank hours”. I think there are good reasons for trading to be limited to certain hours and give buyers and sellers breaks, to avoid more volatility. [/quote]

JP Morgan is a global firm with global investments. Markets are always open someplace.

Your post reveals just how stupid you really are. [/quote]

And years ago I mean back in "bankers hours days" of 1960s and 1970s at places like Chase you had Asia, London NY offices to cover time zones. My time at Chase I was mainly dealing with Asia/India who have a 12 hour work culture. We often have 8am and 8 pm meetings same day with Asia and sometimes 7 am and 11 am meetings for my London People. The bank is basically open NY time from Sunday Night when Asia opens to to Friday at around 8pm when the big Phoenix office closes.

I was dealing with people in all the time zones on a project being run out of NY. I did WFH but only on Sunday night when I would pre-game for Monday and clean out inbox and also I pregame around 545 am at home on my phone or lap top. Once in a blue moon leave on time for an event like back to school night and then go back on line around 9pm.

If I waited till 9am to look at stuff it would be a sea of requests and I already would have lost a lot of time. I don't sleep much anyhow. I only need six hours a night. So normally I watch 11pm news or tonight show and after everyone in bed clear out all my emails, tickets. And be suprising people would respond back. Often I send out requests at 11:30 pm. When I get up at 545 am I got responses I give feed back, then go to work and at 830 am  finished product.

And for folks who claim people take long lunches. Kinda after Europe closes for day at 12 noon and Asia/India is not coming back on line till 8pm  why do you care if I decide to take a two hour lunch and get out of building. The few hourly people see me taking a two hour lunch may think I am goofing off. But the few times I do it is a mental break.       [/quote]

Sick of hearing about the Asian 12 hour work culture. Worked for both the Chinese and Indians. A lot of the day was face time. It wasn't like people were busting their asses for 12 hours.[/quote]
