    As an internet developer once remarked- "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from".
  • davidrmorandavidrmoran
    go to google.com and just type djia and hit return

    never seen this before, like two days glommed into one or something
  • TedTed
    @MFO Members: With the recent spike in volatility, an up or down number is meaningless before the market closes for the day.

    Right. So why was the djia data feed for google combining two days? It says it's for today, one day. I mean, do it again, put in djia at google.com. Then do it at yahoo.com.

    A first.

    What kind of 'attention to detail' were you thinking of?

    Obviously you don’t monitor the markets intraday. Nothing wrong with that. I would guess the vast majority here don’t either.

  • davidrmorandavidrmoran
    Of course I did, and do. And over the entire last 90min-plus, moment to moment and finally at the end of the session, the google data for djia was 150-250 points higher than reality. Period. Thought it was weird, and in my experience unique (online since like 1996 and tracking before that through other means), and so I posted. Alas.

    Hmmm, this may be the real question. Why? As far as I know you aren't a day trader, right?

    Love that one @Ted.

    Oh, Ted, you did not read what the reality was, or could not comprehend your error. I bet you are a great spanker, though!
