The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" 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.

Am I missing something here? I very well could have a mistake since I don't fully grasp the P123 settings yet.
Appreciate any feedback.


The NHNLp screen contains the line "Price > HighVal(251,1)".
Highval(251,0) is the high price over the last 251 days including today.
Highval(251,1) is the high price over the last 251 days excluding today (lag of 1).
"Today" is the date through which P123 price data has been incorporated.

You can find the update status of the P123 servers on their "system status" page.
"Manage", then "Dashboard", then click on the three colored dots. Right now, it says (and note, it is running the weekend update right now):

System Status
Price Data 07/24/26
Fundamental Data 07/24/26
Estimate Revision Data 07/18/26
This only includes a small subset of Estimates data. It only applies to the 18 factors under "EPS Revisions" which are updated weekly.
Server StatusReady (optimal: 8 of 8 servers available)

Data Update Schedule
Name Description Last Start Database Update Server Update
EARLY Early update. Runs Sun-Fri starting around 10 PM 07/24/2026 9:59 PM 07/24/2026 10:04 PM 07/24/2026 11:23 PM
LATE Late update. Runs Tue-Fri starting around 3:00 AM 07/24/2026 3:00 AM 07/24/2026 3:01 AM 07/24/2026 4:16 AM
MON Early Monday Final Weekend Data. Starts 3:30 AM 07/20/2026 3:30 AM 07/20/2026 3:31 AM 07/20/2026 4:43 AM
SAT Saturday full load. Starts around 11 AM 07/25/2026 10:00 AM 07/25/2026 10:02 AM Running...

This gives nice visibility into the data update status. The table in my earlier post is essentially with lag 0.
Meaning, the NHp and NLp values for 7/23/2026 are based on data through the close on 7/23/2026.
You could not produce these values until late in the evening on 7/23 at the earliest.
