Stock markets -- like those who invest in them -- need a holiday from time to time.
The NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange both follow the same holiday schedule, and 2013 is no different. The markets' holiday schedule is published yearly on the NASDAQ and NYSE websites.
Here's the official 2013 stock market holiday schedule.
