BRK.B 50 to 1 split shows price before and after split but does not acknowledge split

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add BRK.B to list of symbols
2. update prices
3. look at historical data for BRK.B

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expect to see conversion of either before or after split to maintain relevant 
pricing.  Instead see a 97% drop in price.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 3.0.0 Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.

This is a good catch.  Yahoo Finance again changed the page where the splits 
are displayed, causing MyPersonalIndex to not download any splits at all.  I 
will have to rewrite the process which retrieves the splits from Yahoo Finance.

In the mean time, there are 2 options:

1.  In your portfolio, you can fake a split for a security by purchasing the 
same number of shares you owned at the time of the split with a $0 purchase 
price (maybe $0.0001 if zero does not work, see issue 31).  This will not fix 
BRK-B itself, but will fix any holdings of it.

2.  You can insert a split into the database itself if you have any database 
experience.  The price history is stored in 
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\MyPersonalIndex in Windows Vista/7 and 
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\MyPersonalIndex\.  It is 
a sqlite database and the table name is simply "Splits".

v3.1 is ready which now downloads splits correctly.
