Yahoo Finance

[optomistic1]

I have been following this for about a year so if I'm off base please let me know. I have been watching Yahoo Finance for the last 20 minutes with the IQD showing a change against the GBP of +9,868.7598%. That is showing a rate of 0.0518. What does this mean. I am seeing this on my IPad and PC. What does this mean?

[sireal]

Its been doing that for several days, if you scroll down a few posts there are a bunch of replies.

[sireal]

Well....... I was going to give you a link to the thread, but either Im blind or it got bumped back a ways. Maybe someone else can help you out with a link. Im on my phone

It seams so-real :lol:

[xxxgator]

I'll tell you this ! If it pop's at that rate in gbp we'll have a boat load of money.

[optomistic1]

It went back to normal after about 22 min. I have been watching these rate changes since Thursday but this was the longest it held. I can't imagine this being a glitch given the amount of time it held and the frequency at which it changes. I am not a "Pumper" or a "Guru", I'm a person with hope and faith. THanks for the replies. I will continue to watch the numbers, "the numbers never lie".

Someone should contact yahoo finance and find out why it's doing that.

HAHAHA

Perhaps we can release one of many newshound gurus onto the case.

Yahoo is probably "pinging" while tears continue to fall on Okie's keyborad as he's getting secret intel from a US Senator in Washington DC.

I almost for forgot on a serious note......Thanks for the post optomistic1!

At first I thought it was nothing; but this much continued activity for a managed level currency pegged against the US dollar is odd when the difference in change percentages are that high.

Yes. Please don't call it a glitch. I am currently a software developer for a large corporation and worked for several years for Sony. People use the term "glitch" way too often. Code changes, patches or system related updates go through a change control process. Typically they are first loaded into a pre-production environment. They go through QA process, and eventually the change is loaded into the production environment. If the spiking was caused by a "glitch" because of the of code, I surmise that you would see issues with or currency comparisons. I have not heard of any. If this was a true code issue or patch issue, the developers would roll back to the prior version. This issue would still not be occurring for over a week. I believe the root cause is data related and possibly resides within the interface that provides yahoo with their numbers. This is meant to occur for whatever reason. I am not saying it's related to an RV but it's interesting that it only occurs when the IQD is being compared. I am very comfortable saying that this so called glitch is no glitch at all. Whatever the intent it's meant to be this way for now.

Thank you for your input. This is not the only site where this has occurred. Bloomberg was also changing the rate of both the IQD and VND, as well as some currency phone apps. The VND being the only other currency is strange, since it has been long rumored it could rv following the IQD......

[bamagirl]

OregonMan, I do believe a few of us just fell in love with you and all your smooth talk, Lol. Thanks bunches for the input!!

I like this very much!
