There are probably several answers to this, but one big one - it brings in Saturday traffic, which has long been a dead day on here.

Same reason why the majority of A-list (i.e. expensive) IPOs become active on Saturday, as well. 

I also imagine this is more beneficial for HSX from a business perspective, even if it may detract from the fun for some.

+1 ! I do agree with you. However, playing derivatives OW is more affordable and as fun as it used to be {nm} monsieurcinema Aug 19, 08:22

I hate how stocks are affected by ridiculously early projections and then turn-arounds after midnight when real numbers come in {nm} diamondman56 Aug 19, 08:25

Unfortunately, until players mature and develop solid discernment, many are swayed by the early numbers. RollingThunder Aug 19, 08:28

I play the swings but that may be two or three reversals tops between OW halt and stock halt. {nm} diamondman56 Aug 19, 08:58

But it isn't bringing in Saturday traffic. After the Friday estimates are reported, place dies down completely. {nm} diamondman56 Aug 19, 08:24

Posting =/ site visits. And even if active openers don't increase Saturdays by much, it may still be better than with halted openers {nm} RogerMore Aug 19, 08:45

I liked the old halt times as well. Once those numbers came in after the halt, you could sense people were squirming in the seats! :) {nm} BelizeIt Aug 19, 10:58

Ditto ... I felt I had to make up my mind before we were sure of anything... Much more exciting that way {nm} Neilthor Aug 19, 11:06

Count me in on the old halt times, I also remember and like commish free Saturdays to free up H$ on shorts. {nm} GruntNoNeck Aug 19, 12:11

Commish free - now there's something I still miss. I've made my peace with the halt time change. {nm} shadowking Aug 19, 12:27

No shadowking! We must Revolt! Grab the Torches and head to the house of the Dmac! {nm} BelizeIt Aug 19, 12:53
