The stock market is an important part of the financial system where investors buy and sell company shares. Most traditional stock markets operate 5 days a week, from Monday to Friday.

Saturday and Sunday are usually non-trading days. During the weekend, investors can review market news, analyze their previous trades, and prepare for the upcoming week.

For example, if an investor owns 100 shares at Rs. 100 per share, the total investment is Rs. 10,000. If the share price rises to Rs. 110, the investment becomes Rs. 11,000, showing a difference of Rs. 1,000.

Weekend events and news can sometimes affect share prices when the market opens on Monday. Therefore, traders should stay informed and manage their risks carefully.

In short, the traditional stock market generally follows a 5-day trading schedule, with Saturday and Sunday off.
