It would be Wednesday if it wasn't Thursday at 12:28 am EST when the posting was made on Yahoo. It's 9:28 pm Wednesday here PST. Looks right to me.

Funny... I get the feeling somebody at Yahoo is watching here and glitch central :-) that they would take the time to patch their graphs within an hour or so of links posted pointing out the boo- boos.. funny, no since of humor guys?... also, how come only one days data on a five day chart at 10:39 PST Wednesday? Had to go to bed?
