: : How do I decide whether I should use the Yahoo Historical quotes, or the Yahoo Adjusted Historical quotes.

: Hi John,

: You can read about the differences here:

: http://www.fundmanagersoftware.com/intrtv.html#YahooHistory

: Basically, the "adjusted" one back adjusts prices for distributions and
: splits. The adjusted server also only updates the closing price.
: The non-adjusted server updates close/high/low/open/volume as they actually
: were on each date.

: If you are going to record past distributions/splits you would want to use
: the regular historical server, to avoid double counting.

: Thanks,
: Mark
