Phillip! With all due respect, if you are system developer for hedge fund, you MUST have cross reference procedure with at list one more data provider. Im little retail guy,trading my own money, but every day after market close i compare data from 3 different sources, before i do anything with data. After i got my list for tomorrow i run 2 more checks 1 hour before market open, to see, if there any ticker changes or maybe delisting issue or maybe stock is halted. those are simple things and everyone, who is serious about trading have to do their own homework and take appropriate steps BEFORE something serious happened. heh...you fired!
