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.

Is their other data valid? Or is it just the prices that are bad?

Usually when the current price is bad, the total return fields - 1 week, 4 weeks, 13 weeks, etc. are also bad, which invalidates most of our screens. I don't know about other data.

Thank you Mungofich for going the extra mile on this issue. When I write to them about it they typically have the usual canned response - what version of VLIA are you running? Please send us a screen shot of the bad prices you found. When I addressed all those and told them that it's a recurring problem, and they need a better data updating process and a data validation procedure, I got silence.
