The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I noticed a week or two ago when looking at that WSJ page, for Nasdaq data it would sometimes show new highs and new lows as say 58 and 1100. Then I would refresh the page, and it would something like 24 and 175. Refresh again and it would revert to the previous numbers.

I think it’s also affecting Pinnacle data. Their data on the days with the odd refresh behavior appeared to combine the new highs from one update with the new lows from the other.

Below is an example of peculiar data. Even though the market on the 14th opened 12% above the recent closing low, held an intraday low 2.5% higher than the previous day’s low, and closed higher overall, the number of new lows still rose sharply compared to the day before.
day before.
