AIQ gives a valuable input on the general market in the way of an Expert
Signal.  I have been getting a DJIA every day that is about 1/2 of the
value.  If I reload the data for perhaps a week it comes through fine.  I
haven't called because I hate to sit with a phone glued to my ear for
interminable periods.  I think I will go back and just reload all of my
data for a year after they get this straightened out, and hopefully all of
the errors fixed.
