I'm happy to report that we should be seeing improvements in the speed and reliability of the site very soon. Changes are now rolling live that we anticipate will greatly improve the efficiency of the site.


Our site admins have left no stone unturned, examining reams of server logs and trying a variety of server configurations to identify areas for improvement.


But the most laborious and hopefully the most productive improvements have been serious changes in the way the database is structured and queried to serve the data on each page. Major changes are being implemented now and will continue to be refined in the coming weeks.


I hope you'll be able to see a difference immediately, and I thank you for your patience while we tackled this difficult challenge.

What GOOG is speed n reliabilty ifn the Sim is all fugged up? Everybody is showing multiple entries fer various tickers. Ifn you put SPXU into the search window it shows that I have 10 positions in the sumbeitch. Nooow, ta me it doan matter no way no how cuz I use this site to help track majer support/resistance prices for a few hunnert stocks I doan track on my own. But fer somebody else who baleaves that "Simage" is EVERYTHING it "might" mean sumphin ifn they are being penalized by a power of 10 cuz they are holding a losing pick 10 times cuz you fellahs STILL can't git yer sheeeyit tagether :o 3J

Brent ,,

nice to see the site making a comeback

however , if you don't know the splits and bugs help link is not working

could you also adjust couple of tickers

Q...... merged with another co

NOC..... my entry price is showing higher price than the stock ever hit
i think because they sold part of the co , if you would adjust that as well

thanks again for your diligence on improving this site

I have seen my name has been removed from the Most Accurate People List. I have not added any new trades in the last few weeks. Is this the reason why. I am currently making 92.67% accuracy.

6 of my picks are showing 100% losses which I believe is wrong. One, MICC, is now MIICF.PK trading at 105.19 vs. my buy price of 110.18. The other 5 are ATHR, MEE, BRNC, RVI and WTNY which, I believe, have merged or been bought out. I'd appreciate some research and correction since these have greatly affected my scores. Thanks.

Hey Stk-

The top 10 lists look for the top active members. You haven't made a pick in over a month. You'll rocket back to the top of the charts as soon as you make another BUY or SELL rating.

HOC and FTO have been renamed to HFC, after a 1:2 split for FTO.

Marathon gave 1 share in the new company for every two in the old, so I adjusted it as a 3:2 split. It's not precise, but pretty close.

Cablevision gave investors one share in AMC for every four CVC, but Yahoo Finance shows it as almost exactly a 30% adjustment, so I used 10:7.

RAS, MMS, PLCM, and BANRD are fixed.

Thanks for the help,
Brent

Brent, CLDAX...Calvert Long Term Income A fund...is not showing the correct gain or loss. Looking at a long term chart it is near its alltime high, yet P&P shows a loss of about 48%. Don't know why I chose a mutual fund, but if they are not allowed you can delete the pick after the price is adjusted. Thanks.

I fixed SNHY. The double picks error is a known bug. We've not so far been able to determine its cause, but we do have an automated process to remove them when they occur. RIMM will be back to normal soon.

Could everybody please report splits and renames on the "Splits Delistings and Renamed Tickers" thread? You're posting these all over the place now, so it's not obvious that I already adjusted TGI, which was posted to the "Bug Reports" thread.
