CDAX chart [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

and

Bloombure chart [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

For MAL.N is different, both between March 2011 & June 2011, but CDAX one has a grate sudden fall, from 100+ to less than 10, but Bloomburg doesn't have such one.

Which one is correct, and trustworthy? Or have I made a mistake?

Somebody pls help?

2nd one is worth. It doesn't consider Subdivision as separate (10:1)

Dear Pal,

Will u be kind enough to elaborate that a little, how I keep track when the graph is not the real price as in real world, and why such graph is more important, just to make myself aware, pls.

TIA,

Rgts!!!

CDAX looks at the Market price of the share, before subdivision it was above 100, from the subdivision date the price came down to 10.

But Bloomberg considers the Market Capitalization, which has do drop due to subdivision, which is more correct.

As we are on the subject of MAL, have you noticed the following:
MAL.X - 8.0
MAL.N - 7.70
If this was before subdivision of 10:1 it would have read:
MAL.X - 80/-
MAL.N - 77/-
How can this ever happen? Everybody knows that the normal (N)share which has voting rights is much more valuable than the non-voting share(X). Can someone pls explain?
