On 12/6/2007 my Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund MAPTX gave out a really large distribution. This made the price of the fund go down by nearly 10% but the total dollar amount of my holdings actually went up a little that day.
When I look at the Yahoo one year chart (new format) it just shows this as if it took a big nose dive.
I would think that the chart should somehow reflect that this is really not a drop. Perhaps it should recalculate all the past data points and adjust them to a common scale that accounts for the distribution. I think they would do this if the stock split.
Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone have any thoughts?
