Today's VFFSX price change hasn't been updated, so anywhere you're looking at VFFSX's price change, over any period of time that you might think should include today, it does not reflect what happened today.

What happens when you add (not exactly how it works but close enough) today's +1.42% to the 1yr -11.05%?
