I've been having the same problem.

In addition to stockcharts, here's another:

If you like the DWCPF (like Yahoo) It's a little different, but here's one

I really don't know which is more correct but both are close.

Forgive my novice ignorance nnuut. I noticed this second site refers to the quotes as being

float-adjusted

. Could you or somebody else educate me please? I have no idea what that means.

Basicially:

Float-Adjusted Index
An index which weights the component securities by the relative capitalization of only those shares that are available to the public for trading, rather than the total shares outstanding. See alsoFloat(3).

7. What is a free-float adjusted index?
Free-float adjustments are applied to an index constituent's total shares outstanding to determine its index weight. Adjustments are made to excluded those shares held by controlling group such as government holdings, foreign ownership limits, cross holdings and family holdings. The resulting shares outstanding after free-float is applied represents the true number of shares available for institutional and retail investors in the marketplace. http://www.ishares.com.hk/faq_msci.html#7

Gives you a better Idea of the true status of an index fund, some folks like the float adjusted numbers some don't, There isn't that much difference in the case of the "S".

Question,
How can the Russell 2000 be down by .5% yet the S fund is up by 5 points?
What is it that I don't understand here?
Anyone!

the symbol for S is $DWCPF, wilshire 4500, 4500 stocks out of the wilshire 5000, the 500 difference corrolates directly to the S&P 500. I didn't see the S fund/wilshire 4500 up at all today.
