There
was a drop of $10.92 on December 2, depending on where you get your data and how
dividends are handled. This is THE BIGGEST problem with
data. If I set switches in my data program so that it is
backadjusted for dividends, prices actually go negative in early
years. So, like most people, I don't have my data backadjusted for
dividends.

But,
then what do you do with an $11 virtual loss that isn't really a
loss? There simply isn't a good answer for it. In my own
backtesting software, if dividends occur during the life of a trade,
they get deducted from the entry price so that P/L figures are
right. AmiBroker can't really do that for us since it doesn't know
about dividends.

So,
Chris, I've given you a lot of words but haven't really answered your
question. I can only "feel" for you.
