The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

You are correct, aprc is not the actual price but the adjusted price. I went back and looked at NFLX which split 10:1 on Nov 17, 2025, and confirmed that the aprc figure is an adjusted figure. My apologies for my incorrect information.

Interestingly to me, Yahoo Finance which shows close and adjusted close, has the same values before and after the NFLX split date. So, getting the actual price of a stock is not straightforward. Google Finance is the same.

As an aside, when using the step aprc(1,252) > 10, you are actual checking the adjusted price a year earlier, not the actual price. So you may be eliminating stocks that had an actual price greater than $10.
