Nothing like idly checking your portfolio on a Monday morning and seeing it down 12%.
What??
Deep breath, check the numbers in detail…
Okay. One stock split, and my portfolio tracker needs to be adjusted. Whew. Back up 10%.
And… for some reason I can’t figure out, Yahoo! finance has decided that the company Paxar (ticker PXR) no longer exists, and therefore doesn’t provide a quote, knocking a few percent off. TD Ameritrade provides a quote, as does the Motley Fool. Yahoo must have had a hiccup.
Whew. Back to normal.
Same thing happened to me only instead of my portfolio it was my wallet and instead of a stock split being the cause, it was the last round I bought at the Brick Store Pub, and no, it wasn’t a math error, just an error in judgment. I may need to diversify into some cheaper drinking companions.
I think you just need a new wallet.
