Occupy Wall Street, it ain't. About 1,000 stockbrokers in Hong Kong marched in protest today because their lunch hour is getting cut from 90 minutes to one hour, reports AP. Exchange officials say the move is necessary to bring Hong Kong's trading hours in line with other markets, especially China's. The stockbrokers chanted that the pending reduction is "inhumane." They're still ticked it got cut from two hours last year, notes Bloomberg.
“All the brokers in Hong Kong are so stretched,” says one protester. “With a shorter lunch break, we cannot concentrate in the afternoon.” (More strange stuff stories.)
