Business Days and Yasuo Sakuma

i ll: Major financial centers rarely have such long shutdowns, according to The Japan Times. U.S. financial markets closed for six days after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in New York and Washington. With Crown Prince Naruhito scheduled to be crowned new Emperor on May 1, the government made the entire period from April 27 to May 6 a market holiday. ; The extra-long Golden Week will represent the longest break ever for Japanese stocks and bonds. It's horrifying that we can't trade for six business days. Hard to say exactly what I will do then, but I'll probably have to make my position neutral before the holidays, said Yasuo Sakuma, chief investment officer at Libra Investments. We've got to adjust our positions before the week. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
