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.
