So what are everyones preferred constants?

I use 252 days/year, which has the nice property of being divisible by 12, so

	21 days/month
	4.2 weeks/month
	50.4 weeks/year
	
and assumes about 8.9 days (from 365.25/7*5=260.9) closed, which isn't too far 
out for the asx.

In 2003 there were 8 non-trading days and 1 early close.  In 2004 there will 
be 8 non-trade and 3 early close.  I'm ignoring the no settlement days.
(reference http://www.asx.com.au/about/Calendar_AA2.shtm and 
http://www.asx.com.au/about/Calendar2004_AA2.shtm).

Any other opinions?
