Market Hours Versus Pre- and Post-Market Trading

What this video covers

• How regular trading hours generally run from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, and why the word generally matters
• Why pre-market and post-market trading are both part of one extended-hours trading definition with one disclosure duty
• Why an individually furnished risk disclosure in paper or electronic form is a precondition to extended-hours trading
• When online account opening or online extended-hours trading independently triggers a clear and conspicuous website disclosure
• The six required risks: lower liquidity, higher volatility, changing prices, unlinked markets, news announcements, and wider spreads
• Why an alternative disclosure must be substantially similar to the model and cover all six minimum risks, while a website posting cannot replace individual delivery
• The difference between a duty to consider additional risks and a duty to include them, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs), options, options exercises, stock splits, and dividend payments
