What's the real DJIA open for this day?
Yahoo Finance used to say 11688.61. Google [1] and a slew of hash tools agree. But Yahoo changed to 11688.76 [2]. The highs and lows are also different. Where's the mistake? --62.140.137.117 14:43, 6 January 2011 (EST)
Apparently the highs and lows are a given, as they're never the same (I'm not too familiar with this). But the open should just be the same. I also notice now how Google missed 2010-12-23 entirely (same value all day). I'm lost now. --62.140.137.117 15:10, 6 January 2011 (EST)
- My "source" fetches the data independently from different websites, these should be the "real" values:
date value fetch_date source 2011-01-05 11688.6100000 2011-01-05 09:30:22 finance.yahoo.com 2011-01-05 11688.6100000 2011-01-05 09:30:20 google.com/finance 2011-01-05 11688.6103516 2011-01-05 09:30:19 djindexes.com 2010-12-23 11559.1100000 2010-12-23 09:30:24 finance.yahoo.com 2010-12-23 11559.1103516 2010-12-23 09:30:22 djindexes.com 2010-12-23 11559.1100000 2010-12-23 09:30:22 google.com/finance

- Thanks, that was helpful. So 11688.61 it is. But it's confusing as heck and a bit of a bummer to find that things aren't that reliable. Oh well.
- Nice single-precision floats over at djindexes. --62.140.137.117 20:13, 6 January 2011 (EST)
