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.

Since you mentioned it, I did some spot checks. I only just noticed that the files with names May 16 (released May 12) and May 23 (released May 19) and June 6 (released June 2) are also garbage. In addition to the one that you mention, the one named July 4 released June 29.
Can you confirm you're seeing the same?

I could, but it's a hassle and I'm lazy.

I always do a fairly cursory check when I download the file. I look at the Current Price of two or three stocks with my own spreadsheet in which I have the Friday closing prices of stocks that I own. I also glance at the Total Return fields to make sure they are populated and seem reasonable.
