Response from Stockcharts.com. Makes sense?

Hi,

The difference in price values that you noticed appears to be due to data adjustments that we made to NRF.

We adjust our historical price data to remove the effects of fund distributions, dividends and stock splits from our charts.

Distributions, dividends and splits are "artificial" changes in the price of a ticker symbol that cause gaps on the technical chart. These gaps cause misleading signals for technical indicators. To eliminate them, we decrease our historical prices (and increase our historical volume data) in a way that removes these misleading signals.

Please see this page for more information about our data adjustments:

All recent data adjustments can be found on this page:

You can also see adjustment notifications on our Data Update blog:

Please let me know if you have any more questions about our website
