Buy SpaceX directly on Nasdaq as you eat lunch in Tokyo

Summary

U.S. stock exchanges, including Nasdaq and NYSE, are extending trading hours to be nearly 24/7 by year-end. This change aims to simplify access for international retail investors, particularly in Japan, to trade U.S. stocks like SpaceX and the Magnificent Seven.

Key Takeaways

1. Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) are extending their hours and will be open almost around the clock by the end of the year.
2. This will likely lower the barrier for Japanese retail investors to buy high-profile stocks, such as SpaceX and Magnificent Seven shares in a more casual manner.
3. Investors will soon be able to trade SpaceX, or just about any other U.S.-listed company, directly on a U.S. exchange during the day in Tokyo.
