    TA25 closed at 822 on Friday. Yahoo now says it is up 3.2% but the value is 772. Now I only have a 3rd grade education, (and never underestimate a 3rd grade education!!) but it seems to me that 822 X 1.03 is not even close to 772....

    Edit: Interestingly, Bloomberg gives the same value. Something is fishy here...

    Edit 2: Mistery solved, Yahoo data (as I already knew) sucks!! It really closed at 748 on Friday.

    Despite gapping down in the morning. The three indexes posted on the TASE website are currently all up for the day.

    On the news Israel entering Lebanon there was a sharp drop. Out of the 3 above mentioned websites 2 of them shows negative for the day (Yahoo is behind as usual), although if I take 748 as closing value on Friday, the currently showing 761 on Bloomberg should be still positive...

    There is a difference in the value between bloomberg and Tase I guess because of the different delays they use, but both websites are negative for the day...
