		philsnow on April 18, 2025 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Why is Good Friday called Good Friday? I was surprised to learn that markets (NYSE and NASDAQ) at least are closed on Good Friday. Some article ascribed it to superstition about a previous crash that had happened on some previous Good Friday, but debunked there being any connection.

In light of recent market turmoil, I would call today "not bad Friday."
