Geode00 Re: I remember going around a couple of times as to the low a few days back. Someone said they hadn't gotten a buy executed with a limit at a higher price than the low.
Apparently, there is some problem with decimalization so that limit orders won't get executed even though the price fell below it. Then again Morningstar's numbers could have been off that day.

That was me. This has happened to me a couple times recently. Not sure the reason. I've seen a daily low posted (on a number of sites) that seems way out of line. It doesn't show up on the intraday charts and it doesn't show up in the "official?" tabulations of the prices (open/high/low/close) such as you can get from silicone investor or in WSJ or the weekly #'s in Barron's.

It would be interesting if someone knows why the discrepancies occur.

Best of luck to you.

I'm happy to see info on other market forecasters' opinions, but I would like to see geode-the-idiot refrain from inflammatory language such as "Bob-the-idiot."
