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.

Not a big issue but so far this week the WSJ Markets ( wsj.com - Market data ) diary data for the 'Week Ago' trading date 'New Highs' & 'New Lows' appears incorrect. As an example for 20250415 the New Highs are stated currently as 19 & the New Lows as 230. A week ago that data was listed as 26 & 30 respectively for the two days it's previously listed. The 19 & 230 appears to be drawn from 20250411 trading data and so I suspect a script / program is currently pulling those two data points from an incorrect field for now. This issue also happened yesterday & there's a note at the bottom of the screen that says "We are in the process of updating our Market Data experience and we want to hear from you" which probably accounts for the issue.

It's not fatal as long as one is tracking the data continuously, however it's worth keeping this in-mind until it's corrected. For the moment I record the NYSE data as (labels & data should be obvious)...
