Up until today's Nasdaq session, four full trading days had elapsed since Research In Motion stock was traded in the U.S. The Saturday-Sunday couplet, New Year's Day and an unanticipated U.S. Federal Holiday called to commemorate the passing of former President Gerald Ford.

But now we are back to normal (that is, if there is such a thing).

So let's check the numbers:

Nasdaq (RIMM)- $128.55 a share, a rise of 77 cents (+0.60%) from last Friday's $127.78 a share close. Reflecting pent-up trading urges after the four-day trading lapse, today's volume of 11.550 million shares was much greater than RIM's three-month 8.589 million share daily average traffic.

Toronto Stock Exchange (RIM)- Today, closing prices finished at $149.92 (CDN) a share, a rise of 92 cents (+0.62%)from Tuesday's $149.92 (CDN) a share final level.
