Louis, merci for the heads up.

I think in this case the summary and details are not the issue - but again more to what you are suggesting (a different last price and/or "term of" shares outstanding).

Yes I read the Nasdaq definition yesterday so I figured something was afoot. I suppose I shouldn't quibble over the nickels and dimes.....

I think I am floored by the mix though moreso - that Yahoo which uses Reuters is equal to NYSE which doesn't use Reuters AND Reuters is not the same as Yahoo!

But yes, I agree, its all about the shoes.

I am looking at ripping data from sites and just want to get a feel for what I am getting into. My goals include - a single source (Yahoo today); to understand what I am dealing with; determine the delta between the numbers; and be happy. At the same time to perhaps look at a package at Stockcharts for the fall.

Thanks for the Kiplinger site too.

Blake
