There is a similar phenomenon that happens with the Industry Group ranks.
The ranking that is printed in the Wednesday-Monday papers has in the past
contained errors because they run this through very quickly, immediately
after M close, trying to meet the printing deadline.  The Tuesday issue is
the only one that doesn't have the short deadline and so has the only
"double-checked" accurate group rankings.  If you want accurate group
rankings use the Tuesday issue.  I have no idea if this is reflected in DGO.
