Why Do Markets "Close"? | DIY Money Video
In this episode of DIY Money, we explore a deceptively simple question: why does the stock market close? From the real reasons behind trading hours to how markets have evolved from the Buttonwood Tree to crypto tokens, we break down the systems that keep Wall Street running — and why closing time still matters in a 24/7 world.
Here’s what you’ll learn 👇
🕰️ Why the stock market doesn’t stay open 24/7 — even though it technically could
🌍 How global news and international markets affect trading while you sleep
🧾 A brief history of how stock markets started — from ships and trees to mutual funds and ETFs

Whether you’re curious about extended hours or how your 401(k) really works behind the scenes, this is a must-listen episode for anyone serious about understanding personal finance today.
And remember, the secret to wealth is pretty simple: live on less than you make, invest the rest, and do so for a very long time. Make it a great one!
