I suggested to another investor that the 200 day moving average for investments could be obtained from finance.yahoo.com (FYC). The major problem with this approach is that FYC fails to use the close adjusted for distribution. I have written them a couple of times about this without results. Fidelity China Region Fund had a 15% distribution on 12/05/14. So on 05/15/15 FYC reports the 200 day moving average as 33.50 and the 50 day moving average as 35.01. FYC also will let you download the daily prices to a CSV file from the Historical Prices selection. Adding a formula or two to that spread sheets results in a 200 day moving average of 31.49 and a 50 day moving average of 35.01. So much for trusting FYC to calcluate accurate numbers. That is why I keep my own data and my own calculations.
