Re: [amibroker] re: MSN data

If I remember correctly, the biggest difference is that Yahoo has
prices that can be adjusted for dividends and splits, while MSN only
adjusts the prices for dividends.  Depending on how far back you are
getting data for, that can be a minor or major difference.

But, if you go back far enough on the Yahoo data, their adjustments
aren't really all that accurate either because they don't keep enough
significant digits on the adjusted prices.  For example, if the
adjusted price is $0.02 one day and $0.03 the next, was there REALLY a
50% increase in price -- or did it just go from $0.0249 to $0.0250?
