Subject: Re: VL Dec132024 datafile has errors
Thanks for the heads-up.
At least they are getting more consistent -- consistently bad. This is a follow up to the file dated November 22 (released Nov 18) that was all bad too.
I have never delved very deeply to figure out which fields are junk when this happens, and which ones are good.
"Stock Price" and "Current P/E Ratio" are bad. But "Div'd Yield" and "Market Cap $(Mil)" seem to be OK.
But rather surprisingly, the "Total Return xx-Week" and "Total Return YTD" fields seem (?) to be OK as well.
(the "Total Return xx-Year" fields are updated only monthly anyway, so they are the usual stale-but-right figures)
