Topic: cash distribution
Posted: Monday, January 7, 2008 10:24:07 AM
Email support told me: "Per company policy symbols are not adjusted for dividends.  We do make individual exceptions for especially large dividends."  I take it as this: for both TC and Blocks price data, stocks, ETC/Closeends and mutual funds, Worden does not normally adjust the price for dividends,  capital gains and distributions (for MFs), unless it is larger than a predetermined big percentage, like 10%.  As a result, on ex-dates, charts would show a drop which actually not a equity line declien if you were long it.  Is this an accurate recap?  I am sure you have all the data for all sorts of distributions.  I don't understand this policy since it does not make good business sense.  Could you elaborate? Thanks!
