Planning Ahead for 2011

November 11, 2010

Never too early to mark your calendars for exchange holidays:

  • Mon., Jan 17.  Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
  • Mon., Feb 21.  Washington's Birthday/Presidents' Day.
  • Mon., Apr 22.  Good Friday. 
  • Mon., May 30.  Memorial Day.
  • Mon., Jul 4.  Independence Day.
  • Mon., Sep 5.  Labor Day.
  • Thu., Nov 24.  Thanksgiving Day.
  • Mon., Dec 26.  Christmas (observed).

WHAT, No New Years' Day?   Noticably absent from the 2011 Exchange Holiday Schedule is January 1, which next year falls on a Saturday.  Exchange rules state that when a holiday falls on a Saturday, we observe the preceding Friday unless the Friday is the end of a monthly or yearly accounting period. 

In this case, Friday, 12/31/10 is the end of both a monthly and yearly accounting period.  Therefore the exchanges will be open that day and the following Monday.   [NYSE.com]
