The graph does not correspond to the actual data, does it? Anybody have the same behavior lately? I just noticed it today.

Looks correct to me. That matches the chart that yahoo finance shows for today's apple chart. (I'm guessing those are one-minute bars.)

That doesn't look right to me either. If Apple is up 1.30 for the day the 1 day graph should be going up. Or maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way.

Or is it telling you that Apple is up 1.30 from the last time you checked the stock? That would make the graph make sense.

Exactly. It looks like AAPL was at roughly $179 at 10 am, and at $173 when markets closed. It was never like that before.

That is the chart from yahoo finance, since the Stocks widget gets its data from them. Maybe they have a hiccup?

I must be missing something. The Graph from Yahoo! ist correct, I just checked with Google finance.

http://finance.google.com/finance?ch...q=NASDAQ:AAPL&

But I still do not understand how the numbers and the graph correlate in that case. The graph is obviously higher at the beginning of the day than it is at the end, so how's AAPL $1.30 up?

The Bloomberg app is much, much better for stock info.
