A digital infographic titled “NYSE Market Closures & Early Closes – 2025 to 2027” displays a clean, vintage-style calendar table of U.S. stock market holidays. The table lists holidays such as New Year’s Day, Juneteenth, and Christmas, with each year (2025, 2026, 2027) as columns. Red icons indicate full market closures, while yellow icons and notes signal early 1PM closes. Observed dates are noted for holidays falling on weekends. The background resembles parchment paper with a subtle texture, and the bottom features a legend with icon meanings and the “ANTIVESTOR ALMANAC” brand stamp.

With this setup? It’s practically an ATM with a checklist.


A satirical vintage poster titled “Holiday Trading Forecast – Expect Panic, Whiplash & Early Closures” features a distressed news anchor yelling in front of a storm map labeled “SPX Forecast Gridlock” and “Independence Day Gamma Cyclone Incoming.” A panicked trader in a raincoat clutches a “1 PM CLOSE” sign as calendar pages for July 4, Nov 28, and Dec 24 swirl around him. Headlines warn of “Zero DTE Volatility Front Expected,” “Liquidity Drought Ahead — Stay Hedged,” and “Do Not Fade the Turkey Rally.” The overall tone is chaotic and humorous, styled like a financial weather apocalypse report.


A vintage-style infographic titled “Holiday Handbook: Your Holiday Trading Rules (If You’re Not a Clown)” is printed on aged, sepia-toned paper. The left column features five bold trading rules, each paired with an icon: avoid full premium on half-days, expect low-volume chop, don’t assume you must trade just because the market is open, respect strong seasonal flows, and beware of the 1PM theta burn trap zone. The right column includes a bell curve graphic labeled “SPX Gamma zones tightening pre-holiday” and the instruction to “Fade risk on early close days.” At the bottom is a bold quote: “Trade small, trade smart, or just take the damn day off.” — ANTIVESTOR.COM
