I stand corrected, 9 in all- wonder why we get a WSJ delivered on Good Friday and Martin Luther?.... there's supposed to be no paper when the stock exchange is shut. You were right

Same reason that they publish the FT on Saturday, and I presume the WSJ too - they report yesterday's news and stock prices.

"Why they publish an edition on Monday?" is a more interesting question. How much has happened in the world of business and high finance between Friday evening and Sunday?

Nope they don't publish on Saturdays or on seven of the public holidays either. Part of the function of the paper is for trading that day.
