About a year ago, I made an inquiry to CSI regarding Yahoo's claim (at that
time) that they get their data from CSI. CSI's answer was that they
supplied only the CLOSE prices to Yahoo. When I forewarded the CSI response
to this board, it appeared to surprise to TJ (at least at that time) that
Yahoo wasn't representing the situation exactly correct (at that time).
I gather from this post of yours, that now, even the CSI website is telling
us that CSI provides ALL of the data to yahoo. Is this a correct
interpretation of your post? Ron D
