I know we use Yahoo for the price quotes, but I am just confused how opening prices can vary as much as they do. When I saw your opening quote for RRGB I thought it was a typo, so I checked Yahoo Finance, just in case. Yahoo was indeed at the $72.40 price.
MSN had RRGB at $72.78 for the opening price.
Will go see where CNBC had it, but I believe they had it well above $72.40 at the opening also.
Not saying I want my price to change, but fair is fair.
On my commodity and stock thread, I see variances in closing prices of commodities between different exchanges also. Makes no sense to me...........and I try to keep most quotes to the CNBC site for conformity sake. At least on commodities, I know sometimes they are trading different months on different quote systems at times due to expiration dates, but even in the middle of the month when the exchanges are trading same monthly contracts, I see variances in closing prices.

CNBC listed it at $72.40
MSN had it at $72.87, not $72.78 as I previously posted.
Guess I should not look at MSN!

I'll check the Yahoo historical quotes tomorrow. I'm not sure why there is so much variance but it may have to do with stocks trading on multiple exchanges.

Do feel a few sore spots, and the left eye area is black and blue. I was a bit worse than I originally thought. It takes a day or two for the small aches and pains to show up. At least, the eye is still fully functional, and that is a little good news. Sore in the left rib area.
Elbow and leg on left side have some scrapes too. I hate to look in the mirrow now, but time and healing will make it all disappear.
Ooh, TPI back up over a penny this morning...so back to even so far.

Thank you, clarkrl, just have to be careful. Will use the walker for a short walk near sundown. Path around little lake.
CONGRATULATIONS to VB for a runaway win, and kadee for a clear Place this week.
Was extremely lucky TPI came up a point at the close of the day. A pleasant surprise to beat the BenchMark.
