Yahoo data (only source of data available in Best Charts) has been very unreliable this year. Recently, it has gotten better, but major problems still appear frequently.
 
This is usually seen as missing days in the data. The missing days are generally within the last week.
 
It pays to click the 123 button, especially if you are considering making a trade, and take a quick look at the underlying data to see if any obvious problems are evident.
 
Since this is a Yahoo data problem, it is NOT limited to Best Charts. All charting programs that use Yahoo data would have the same issues.

Hi Rik
It seems that a good portion of my readings on this site refer to the reliability of Yahoo's data.  All I have been doing is punching in a symbol and calling up the charts.  Is that a foolish approach or is the reliability you guys are referring belong to those situations where you go in and mess with the data?
