Redaction Notice

After writing another bot to help me out with these reports, I came across a minor error in the calculation of the Barrel's Bottom Composite Index, due to an inaccurate total in the total shares outstanding for one NEX stock. As a result, the BBCI values for last Wednesday to Friday were overstated by 0.01 points.

I've corrected the erroneous figures in those reports. The difference is sufficiently minor that there's no pressing need to change the graphs. For all days except Wednesday, the point change was the same and the percentage change nearly so. For Wednesday, the point drop was understated by 0.01 points, which changed the day's decline significantly. As a result, I've put one of those notes on the top of Wednesday's report but not the others.
