i see fatfinger for yesterday to downside?

Etrade web site $1.37 close.

Power ETrade Pro daily chart, which I used as source, reports $1.36 close. I should've known better - they just put out a new version, 5.33.

Taking Power ETrade Pro to "Show Table" in one-minute increments, shows close of $1.38 at 15:59.

From my capture of ADVFN trades screen data, I show price range at 15:59 of $0.137-$1.38.

ADVFN trades shows 15:59 last trade of $1.375 as you mention.

Yahoo historical quotes shows $1.37.

So yes, "fatfinger", but not mine.

One thing I've learned in the very few years I've been trying to learn this stuff: don't believe *anything* finance-related is reliable, consistent or designed to aid you in investing.

As an ex long-time computer professional that designed systems and software, I've determined that the financial industry never heard terms like "QC", "regression testing", "structured design", ...

And worse, their regulators are less knowledgeable and less astute and less careful.

E.g. I recently spent a few months back-and-forthing e-mails with FINRA because they were both failing to present certain data on their REG SHO OTC day-end summary files and were actually intermittently failing to pick up large chunks of the data.

The fix, until their new system gets put in place this summer, is a fix-up file that gathers data from a different and more reliable source (node?) the following morning ... most days.

Wednesday morning's file failed to generate and when I e-mailed them they said there had been a problem and they were working on it. This normally is time-stamped 06:02 A.M. Wednesday's shows

... fatfinger for yesterday LOL! Was "brain fart".

For some reason, after how many years, I forgot the daily chart shows latest AH trades as "close" on Power ETrade Pro until next day begins.

Yesterday and today, close for 7/25 does show $1.37.

Argh! And no, it's not "talk like a pirate" day.
