Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
Whenever I see an anomaly at Morningstar, refreshing the page seems to fix it. Today most NAVs at Portfolio Manager look correct. In one case there is a discrepancy of less than a penny between one mutual fund share price in Portfolio Manager and as it appears on the Quote page of the fund. Not enough to worry me.
Yeah, we've all discussed this many times in the past. But no one has seemed to come up with a decent alternative to M*, as far as I am aware.
I'm not a M* member, so I have no legitimate basis for complaint. I use their daily portfolio numbers as a quick and dirty copy/paste input to my financial spreadsheet, realizing that at any given time at least some of their numbers are probably suspect. As Ben says, sometimes it depends upon exactly when you take a look.
Since no financial decisions are going to be made from the daily update I'm not too concerned about a bit or error here or there on those numbers. It's the long-term picture that the spreadsheet provides that is more important.
Yes, Portf. Manager tonight matches share prices on individual quote page. BUT: the performance percentage, whether up or down for the day, is still screwed up.
Being a M* forum regular we've had our fair share of political tripe in recent months but ... and I hate to jinx things, the furor seemed to have died down significantly in recent days. Perhaps the same will happen here. (I only had to ignore 2-3 people for a while over there).
28 July. Ran into the same thing as described above. If I were to sign-out then sign back-in, it might work. Is it that important to me? No. Too damn much work, just to get to a discussion forum. Adios, M* discussions. Maybe I am just cleaning cookies out too often to make M* happy, I dunno.
Same here. I got into Discussions tonight by working AROUND the fact that I told it to remember my sign-in information, via a Firefox "private browsing" page, then signing in (ostensibly) AGAIN. I gave them a piece of my mind--- again. Lately, including tonight, it "remembers" me for Portfolio Manager purposes. When I go to look at a stock I'm tracking, I'm locked out of the premium content I should be able to see. They just... can't... seem... to... get... out...of... their... own... way.

@Mona: Only sometimes. There are a few others I've blocked due to excessive politics and/or personality issues that disrupt the forums there.
