About Us

Hello, welcome to my blog! I recently graduated with an economics degree and was lucky enough to find a full-time job right out of school! I have learned a lot on my path from full-time student to adult and I started this blog to help others! Moving for work to a different province, away from family & friends, I learned how to create a budget and, through reading and chatting, began my path towards financial independence! This blog serves to help those like myself with this transition from student to adult. Please feel free to ask questions and I look forward to chatting with you all!

Stock Market Trading Hours: When is the Stock Market Actually Open?

   Stock Market Trading Hours: When is the Stock Market Actually Open? One of the more frequent questions asked by new investors after they have opened up their first brokerage accounts is when does the actual stock market open. Although the market does have regular hours, which we will get to in a moment, the stock market (at least the large ones) do not actually ever stop trading when the exchanges close as there are after-hours and before-hours trading too. Although the answer is not as straightforward as most would hope, regular trading hours for the U.S. Stock Market , including the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq), are from 9:30am to 4:00pm Eastern time from Monday-Friday other than on market holidays (think President’s day, Christmas, Easter and the 4 th of July). As for the Canadian Stock Markets, which include The Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV), have the exact same trading hours as their American count
