BMI is transmitting bad data for nd and nq this eve. There is a sudden rise
of 645 points on the graph to 4670, but the price listed in text is still
within the prior scale at at 3993. When I changed the scale for ND to 1/10,
it did not solve the problem. I did not see any other resolution listed
here. Did you get it worked out or what have others done?
Thanks,
Don
