Why does Scottrade sometimes show the wrong closing price for a stock?
Anyone have a Scottrade Stock Account? Sometimes, the closing price of a particular stock is somehow lower and different than everyone elses such as Yahoo! Finance, Bloomberg, etc.
For example, Procter & Gamble today closed at $52.17. But around 9pm today, Scottrade shows it at $50.75. The weird thing is that all the prices were correct during the close and around 2pm Pacific Time. I know it doesn't count after hours. They always do this to me a few times ever so often.
I tried calling Scottrade but their offices are now closed. Anyone else have this problem before?

"I know it doesn't count after hours."
After hours trades do count.
I don't use nor speak for this broker, but unless you need quotes for after hours trading, then I would not worry about where a stock closed.
As far as posting prices at 9PM, since there is no domestic trading, I would not worry about that either.
After HRS market closes 8PM EST on the ECNs.

Many new investors are lured to the appeal of a penny stock due to the low price and potential for rapid growth which may be as high as several hundred percent in a few days.

Similarly, severe loss can occur and many penny stocks lose all of their value in the long term. Accordingly, the SEC warns that penny stocks are high risk investments and new investors should be aware of the risks involved but you can even make very big money. These risks include limited liquidity, lack of financial reporting, and fraud. A penny stock is a common stock that trades for less than $5 a share. While penny stocks generally are quoted over-the-counter, such as on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the Pink Sheets, they may also trade on securities exchanges, including foreign securities exchanges. In addition, penny stocks include the securities of certain private companies with no active trading market. Although a penny stock is said to be "thinly traded," share volumes traded daily can be in the hundreds of millions for a sub-penny stock. Legitimate information on penny stock companies can be difficult to find and a stock can be easily manipulated.
