It's Thursday, October 2nd.

Welcome to Market Foolery.

I'm Chris Hill joining me in studio today

for Motley Fool Funds, Tim Hanson.

Happy Thursday.

Thank you, sir.

It's a nice Thursday.

We've had some weather not so awesome, but yeah today's lovely. It's beautiful out.

It is lovely. It is lovely. It is lovely. It's supposed to be beautiful through the weekend.

We've got a hot IPO. We will dip into the full mail bag. Let's start today in Hong Kong. This is something

that's a story that's been involving all week. We haven't yet talked about it on market foolery,

but I'm curious when you see the pro-democracy

demonstrators by the thousands protesting in front of the main government

buildings in Hong Kong.

First and foremost, what goes through your mind as an investor?

Well, I mean, there are real investing consequences to sort of the disruptions in Hong Kong.

One is that the Hong Kong market, which

actually had a formal holiday yesterday, has extended that holiday through next

week, so they're not clearing trades or anything and stocks aren't trading.

So that's for a financial center in Asia.

Right.

Kind of a big deal.
