All know that Wallstreet has been closed for over 4 days. The New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ and other trading organisation in NY have also been closed since the attack and are scheduled to re-open on Monday. At opening, the US economy is going to be put to the test. Which translates to the World Economy really.
If people engage in speculative trading or remove all their investments, chances are we will fall into recession. This is preciselly what anti-American group want.
Please, at the opening bells of the NYSE, invest and keep your money in the market. No matter if you are talking about 100$ or 100,000$ put it in the system and leave it there for a few days or weeks. You will really make a statement and you will be effectively fighting terrorism.
