Example: AVGO today price=418.06, annual dividend=14.40, which is a yield of 3.444%. Security detail view says 3.949%

    It seems to be a "downloaded" figure and I haven't a clue as to how it's calculated.  I do note that the number associated with Apple  - ".7096" - hasn't change in years.  Delete it from your Portfolio view.

    Well that's pretty daft. All the data necessary to calculate the correct number is downloaded every day. Why the [removed] don't they just fix it?
