It’s hard to explain in words but you’ll notice this if you backtest your trading models frequently and observe radically different stats one day vs. the next without changing stocks or time periods when you request data from Yahoo. Btw, you can mitigate some of the bugs in Yahoo Finance if you use GNU R to do your backesting like I’ve briefly described in this article.
