It works, but it is not appropriate unless your observations are evenly spaced in business-daily time (e.g. corresponding to each trading day, or each Wednesday, or whatever). If they are not, application of any standard time-series commands makes little sense--for instance, estimation of a first-order autocorrelation coefficient where the previous period might be one day or one week prior is not workable.
