StockCharts.com not reliable??!

[stthomas2004]

I was just looking at charts of SLE (Sara Lee) in my charting software, and then went to post it to my website. I use stockcharts.com to create saveable charts to post there. When I pulled up the chart on sc, I noticed that chart is substantially different from the one my software shows. So I went to Yahoo! and their chart is the same as my software. Whats going on here?

May 5, 2006 Price as:
Sc.com: $15.63
Yahoo!: $18.82

What gives? Im guessing that Yahoo! is right, but Ive based a few decisions on Sc.com, which is giving me a COMPLETELY different chart pattern!

Oh, here are the links in question:
SLE - SharpCharts 2 from StockCharts.com
SLE: Basic Chart for SARA LEE CP - Yahoo! Finance

That's weird the same thing happened to me but in reverse. I was tracking AAPL and went to pull it up on Yahoo finance and it was showing prices at noon (pacific) when it was already after hours... It took until about 5pm to have the correct updates chart. Maybe a server updating error???

That is really weird, and it is in fact Yahoo Finances error. I doubled checked SLE's chart with my software, and stockcharts.com has it correct:

I would utilize stockcharts.com for now on, as I have no idea why yahoo finance has that ghetto chart. That is really weird, something must be wrong with their server for sure.

Thanks for bringing this up stthomas, good call!

Wow, that's even more weird, haha. Maybe you are right regarding updating their servers. Either way though, to have incorrect historical data too? Doesnt make sense...
