  I didn't think of that, thanks. Although aren't the exchanges open at different times? I guess there is some overlap.

    If you look at the bottom of the 24 hour graph here (http://www.kitco.com/charts/livesilver.html http://www.kitco.com/charts/livesilver.html) you can see the opening hours for different exchanges around the world. You can see that for a few hours London, New York, and Hong Kong or New York, Hong Kong and Sydney are open. It's quite interesting and of course a bit of a headache if you have to work in a multi-timezone system.

    In addition to equities (stock market) which also have extended trading hours (pre and post market trading) there's also a massive market called futures and another called currencies which are opened nearly 24/7. A ton of money is traded in both those markets.
