Steve,

> seem to be on the Yahoo! pages I see.
Of course not. Prices downloaded by AmiQuote are the same as new Yahoo shows.
There is no difference. Just download using AmiQuote and you will see that there is NO difference for current quote.
There is NO difference in ***current*** price between adjusted/unadjusted.
The difference is for OLD data.
Unadjusted means that OLD data ( BEFORE SPLIT) -
are left in ORIGINAL levels (exactly as they were traded then).
Unadjusted are simply ORIGINAL prices, NOT MODIFIED in any way.
Adjusted historical data are modified.
>From Yahoo help pages:
http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/fin/quote/quote-12.html
Adjusted close provides the closing price for the requested day, week, or month, adjusted for all applicable splits and dividend
distributions. Data ***prior*** to the split is adjusted using a multiplier determined by the split ratio. Data prior to the
dividend is adjusted using a multiplier based on dividend as a percentage of price.
Also from:
http://www.fool.com/foolu/askfoolu/2001/askfoolu010703.htm
"What may be confusing you is their "split-adjusted" price. When a stock splits, historical quote services and charts split the past
prices as well so that it doesn't look like the stock just dropped 50%. Split adjustments are a convenient way to illustrate the
relationship between current price and historical performance, but they don't give you a true historical price. If a stock has split
a number of times, the initial price can get down to pennies when split adjusted. But that doesn't mean that it ever actually sold
for pennies.
For example, Microsoft went public on March 13, 1986 and closed at $28, but the split-adjusted price you will see on a chart or in
historic quotes is $0.19. That's because it has split so often that a single share purchased on March 13, 1986 would have turned
into 144 shares by today. Cisco has split even more. An original share of Cisco has turned into 288 shares. The closing price on the
day of Cisco's IPO on February 16, 1990 was $22.25, but the split-adjusted price was $0.08. Neither Microsoft nor Cisco ever sold
for much less than their IPO prices."
