It has been a turbulent start to the month for investors. All three major indexes finished October with a gain. However, bears have regained control in November. As of this writing, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 1.5% since the start of the month, while the S&P 500 is 1.8% lower and the Nasdaq Composite is off 2.9%.

"Large-cap tech stocks have been on an unstoppable run over the past six months, with particular strength over the past two months, and a pullback has been long overdue," says Robert Edwards, chief investment officer at Edwards Asset Management.

But Edwards thinks the current pullback is "a brief breather," since tech "earnings are crushing it and growing faster than revenues," which "often leads to multiple expansion. And he believes the combination of strong earnings, a dovish Fed and trillions of dollars of cash on the sidelines could have the markets back at record highs by New Year's Eve.

As for those wondering what time does the market open for regular trading hours, both the Nasdaq Stock Market and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) run from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm Eastern time Monday through Friday.

Are banks open on Veterans Day? The answer to that question is no. Tuesday, November 11, is one of several bank holidays in 2025, and so banks will be closed.
