I received the response below from Prophet in regards to why Prophet's INDU
cash prices differed from Bloomberg's data.  Can you believe the BS answer
I got?!   I can't believe these guys actually do business!  Only God knows
what other data problems they have.

Craig

The prices we get show the theoretical highs and lows for these indices;
Bloomberg probably gets the actuals highs and lows. So typically our ranges
will be greater.
