video question is wrong today. the correct answer is 6 days but cnbc thinks it is only 5 days. shanghai index is up for 6 days. not 5 days. stupid stupid stupid cnbc!
The Shanghai is up 5 days in a row on a close to close basis according to this: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=000001.SS
I was laughing to death, because that's what I do after picking up the stocks. Common, let's admit it we are human being.
no, it is 6 days. i know how to count up days, but cnbc does not. i trade on shanghai too, so i know this for sure. so their correct answer is 5. the exact words would be to extend 5 days to 6 12-Mar-07 2,945.92 2,958.63 2,904.74 2,954.91 4,294,967,200 2,954.91 9-Mar-07 2,934.49 2,962.42 2,891.81 2,937.91 4,294,967,200 2,937.91 8-Mar-07 2,904.19 2,928.80 2,871.46 2,928.01 4,294,967,200 2,928.01 7-Mar-07 2,851.75 2,911.42 2,849.65 2,896.59 4,294,967,200 2,896.59 6-Mar-07 2,776.17 2,866.33 2,756.96 2,840.18 4,294,967,200 2,840.18 5-Mar-07 2,827.68 2,858.44 2,723.06 2,785.31 4,294,967,200 2,785.31 where is day 13? adding march 13th, it is 6 days.

qll, I didn't say you were wrong. All I pointed out was that there were only 5 up days in the historical data. I couldn't find a similar table on CNBC's web site. Amusing if they used Yahoo! and not noticed that the current day wasn't included in the table.
