it is simply NOT TRUE that all services adjust the data. a simple example, look at a bigcharts interactive chart for NAT for 2 months and compare to a stockcharts for two months, looking at the last 4 days. the price action is totally different on the chart for the last three days. going back to look at stockchart charts to see the response of the stock to a big dividend payout is very misleading because stockcharts does not reflect actual price action yahoo sends out unadjusted data if you ask for historical quotes, although it does provide adjusted data also. once again, stockcharts has made a decision for everyone, which results in charts which inaccurately and/or incompletely represent price action or indicators the ONLY place I have ever heard of these dividend adjustments for mutual funds to allow a "total return" chart - I do not believe it is appropriate for equity traders the price is the price - and it shows up from all exchanges exactly the same - when you make an adjustment, you distort the chart not the price stock splits are a different horse - primarily because of the size of the price change - how a stock responds to its dividend should not be disguised
