Why does the TSP site, "Shares Prices" show a loss today, E.g. 6/9/2010, when the fund actually had a $0.06 or 0.06% gain at closing?

The TSP site's F fund (AGG ticker name) share price currently shows $13.9094 and on 6/8/2010, yesterday, it showed $13.9173 demonstrating a loss for today. The F Fund clearly showed no last second/minute drop to depict a loss, however, the TSP shows one for 6/9/2010. How can this be true? There appears to be an error with the TSP share pricing posting for today....maybe just today?

It's common, the F-Fund tracks AGG but can deviate in small percentages, especially when you have late day price fluctuations. Because of this, the F-Fund is not always good for short-term plays.
