Is anyone else having problems with the updating of their P&P account?
I continue to be hampered by the inability of P&P to keep with stock splits, which seem to take several days to fix (and obviously affect one's apparent success or failure). What makes this even more surprising is that the splits are announced in advance, and therefore if the stocks are tracked by Zacks, the pricing should be programmed into P&P.

BCPC is one that hasn't taken into account the 3 for 2 stock split on Jan 20.

Hey Smokin-

Alas, we're still not getting an automated feed from Zacks on splits or other maintenance data. So it all has to be done manually and the alert system for staying on top of it is far from foolproof. We are working on implementing an automated solution. In theory it should be easy, but it will require some significant development to get the two systems talking to each other.

I started a new post for reporting splits and such here:

I wasn't able to find anything in your current portfolio that needs adjustment. If I overlooked something please use the link above to let me know.

BCPC is now adjusted.

Thanks,

Brent
