I have an idea about what might be going on but if I am right, this is 
not something requiring a "fix"

When you say "stock is worth X on day one" does this really mean NOW (in 
the middle oi trading day one) or "as of close of the market day-1"? 
Because that is what most of MY on-line value statements mean. The 
valuation I see on day one is clearly labeled "at close of the markets 
day-1".

Look at whatever you are using to get stock values to find out what date 
it is actually using.
