Ron, thanks for your observation. I gleaned this data from the Metastock web
site. At the time I wondered why there was a gap in the data; Thursday 30th
July 1914 the closing value was 71.42; the next date is Saturday 12th
December 1914 the closing value was 54.62.
Can you or anyone else on this list suggest the correct method for filling
the gap?
according to the original data
