My end-of-day quotes are stored on disk so I have the option of changing the values. About 300-350 stocks showed aberrations in the volume due to the R2K shuffle. If you pulled up the Yahoo quote summary for the stocks, the ones that have aberrations will show that either the high or low is far off the close or that the after-hours quote is well off the close. You can pull up the intraday chart (I'm using the mytrack software AIQ) and use the cursor to lookup the quote for the aberration at 4:00 pm and use the actual low or high for the day using the 21-period high and 21-period low indicators on the chart. In the second case, I substituted the after-hours quote as the correct end-of-day quote (ALTR and XRIT had probably the largest swing). Note the end of day market statistics from some sites are screwed up the last two days. Yahoo has bad counts for new highs and new lows while the advanced-decline numbers and up-down volumes seem to be close to what the NYSE is reporting. The barchart.com and other sites seem to reporting bad values at least for the NYSE up-down volume (seems to be repeating the Nasdaq up-down volume for both exchanges) but reporting the correct new highs and new lows.
