Quicken Says "52-Week High (Low)" for 13 of my stocks!!!

[Tom Young]

Hi all:

This has happened to me several times recently. After downloading the
closing quotes from Quicken and looking at my stocks in Portfolio view
I've got lots and lots of stocks that are flagged as being at 52-week
highs or lows, but they're not, really. Just seems to be a bug in the
download. Anybody else experiencing this?

TIA.

Tom Young

Yes, with Q2004D. Many/all? show 0.01 as both 52week high & low.

I've read of others experiencing this and seen it myself, though
I confess, I only notice when someone mentions the problem. My
very very quick examination several months ago led me to believe
that the problem had to do with not clearing what had been
legitimate notifications of highs/lows. That is, I examined a
few of the problem securities and noticed they had recently hit
a 52 week high or low, but were still indicating the high/low
even though now they were not at that high/low; they continued
to indicate the high/low everyday after that (at least for the
days I checked). Others, who have spent more time on the
problem, may have other diagnoses.

Yep, I've seen that, too. However, these are "fresh" notations of
highs and lows with prior highs and lows having occurred many months
ago. The programming behind these high and low indicators is clearly
buggy, in either case.
