 The DAY 1 parameters are used to determine
 which date the current year of stock data
 begins with.  Avoid changing these values.
 The correct values should be automatically
 calculated as:
      1992 - 01/06/92    1995 - 01/09/95
      1993 - 01/04/93    1996 - 01/08/96
      1994 - 01/03/94    1997 - 01/06/97
