Google stock chart is wrong (VBR, Small cap value)

[JEDI]

145.67 is not the low of the day nor is it the 52 week low.
I bought for lower than 145.67 on 6/17/22.
eTrade says the low is actually 145.54 for that day. 😱

Wonder why is google wrong on something so simple as low of the day?

i gave up on google finance years ago... it used to be better, but something changed and made it worse

now i use the WSJ to look up info, or the ETF provider's site itself

WSJ shows 145.54 as the 52-week low of VBR on 06/17/22

i use mostly IJS for US small value with some VBR for small/mid value-ish

but i kind of wish i'd switched to avantis AVUV a while back

why is either better than vbr?

why is either better than vbr?

they're not necessarily better, just more small and valuey than VBR

per the x-ray analyzer at morningstar at least, VBR is almost half mid-cap instead of small-cap

IJS and AVUV are similar but it seemed like AVUV's additional profitability screening had been leading to better performance in this past drop (up until a couple days ago when they all sank like a rock haha)

but AVUV is a new fund so i felt it was too early to tell if it seems to be good or just lucky, so i haven't switched anything to it yet

avantis does have a lot of employees who used to work for DFA though, which has decades of experience in factor-based mutual fund offerings

i forgot too, vanguard has VIOV which follows the same index as VBR

It's pretty clear that something flatlined on that chart, leaving it inaccurate.
