6. Somes times the feeds get goofed up
Edited on Wed Oct-08-03 08:57 PM by RobertSeattle
Like the decimal point lets lost. I recall updating Quicken stock quotes a year or two ago and I instantly became a multi millionaire because everything was 100x it's correct value. Unfortunately, all was lost on the next update.

On edit: But this looks like a hack!
