Warning IBD Data!

[billyjoe]

This probably would apply to other services also, but I've seen it happen several times with IBD. When a stock splits or opens lower in the case of FRO today to compensate for the SFL stock dividend, the data and graphs may take until tomorrow to be adjusted. If you have a "My Stocks List" it will say your stock is down and numbers will be in red. The charts also show a drop in what appears to be high volume. I believe the RS may also be lowered and the % off the 52 week high is also a mis-calculation. I'm sure some people don't realize this glitch and sell by mistake. Has anyone ever had a stop triggered by a split?
