Why does stock / ETF data go FUBAR?
I hold units in the JNK junk bond ETF. On April 1st, it underwent a three-to-one reverse split so that three units were converted to one unit after the reverse split. That meant the unit price went from (approximately) to 8 because one new unit is worth three of the old units.

On Saturday, I was reviewing my portfolio and noticed that the unit price shown by my broker for JNK had gone from 8 to . But the number of units I had were still the post-reverse-split number.

Searching the internet on Saturday showed the price. Searching now shows the 8 price.

Did anyone else notice this?

Does this sort of data corruption happen with stock splits / reverse-splits?

On Monday, the data all reverted to the 8 value -- including any search responses.

The screenshot below shows the problem: The Last Price is .09 and yet the trading plot from the previous day's trades shows about 8.30 as the price.
