Thanks toMr . Rob Lammle , I came across a rather entertaining television of Darth Vader and a gaggle of Stormtroopers ring the Opening Bell on Wall Street this break of the day . It made me marvel what other random people or characters they have put in charge of opening up trading for the day " “ it ’s not just for CEOs and kingpin any longer ! Here are 10 of them , begin with Darth , of course of study .
1 . Darth Vader . He and his posse comitatus were there to celebrate 30 yr of Star Wars .
2 . Hillary Duff . A yr ago tomorrow , the former Disney stripling queen was there with the basis Blessings in a Backpack to open up trade .
3 . WWE representatives and wrestler . They were obviously celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of WrestleMania and the movie12 Roundsstarring John Cena .
4 . The cast ofThe Toxic Avenger . I was more excited about this one when I suppose they meant the picture show " “ this just happened in August , so I thought the casting of a 1984 movie opening the NYSE was pretty odd . But it turns out that the cult classic movie has been turned into a Broadway musical . Still , who would have call back you ’d be enjoin " New York Stock Exchange" and " Toxic Avenger" in the same sentence ?
5 . Foreigner . Yup , the band . It seems like they should have rang the Opening Bell back at the height of their popularity in the " ˜80s , but they open trade on October 21 of this year . It turns out they ’re celebrating newfound popularity , thanks to Mariah Carey ’s concealment of their song " I Want To Know What Love Is . “
8 . The Cat in the Hat . Darth is n’t the only completely fictional character to plain thing off at the NYSE . The Cat in the Hat telephone the Bell in 2000 to give up off the Read Across America program . No Holy Scripture on if he wreaked havoc when the traders ' parents left for the day or not .
Who would you like to see ring the Opening Bell ?
