Herb, I just this morning sent Gary email concerning the problem with GE and a few others showing "0" for shares outstanding and float. The problem is that when you think you have the hole plugged one place another one pops up. I had not noticed the scaling problem, just that I knew good and well that GE had some shares outstanding.<g> Might want to email Gary (data@quotes-plus.com) Monty

>>Anyone finding the variable sharesout (total shares outstanding) scaling to be in thousands for some stocks and in millions for others?<< Before reading your post I checked 4 stocks and the scaling for shares outstanding for all 4 stocks was in thousands. For these stocks the calculation of MarketCap was in error as Quotes Plus multiplies shares outstanding times price per share to calculate MarketCap. For every stock I checked Quotes Plus calculated a MarketCap 1000 times higher than the actual value. I sent Quotes Plus an e-mail about this problem and my next task is to tell them about a problem they have with the NAV of Mutual Funds that have a sales load.
