Yahoo gets return wrong!      7-Feb-07 02:26 pm    
Does anyone know why Yahoo gets the overall return on this and all other funds wrong by not calculating in the capital gains distribution. You'd think this fund was doing poorer than it really is since the NAV takes a sudden dive when the cap gains are distributed out - but all of us then in turn OWN MORE SHARES and it's a day to day wash. But if you make comparisons with other assets you see these sudden drops in value around december that are not adjusted for. for example:

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?t=2y&s=OFA...

you'd think they were doing much worse than the S&P 500 but the drops are really the distributions.

anyone else annoyed by this? All the financial web sites are guilty of this.
