Note that the 3-15 closing price for SPY is $140.72. SPY gained $.20 cents today, but the close price is $140.30 for a decline of $.42. Can anyone explain this discrepancy?

Closing price was indeed $140.27.  Note that the Google 3-day chart shows a gain of +0.20.

There really isn't anything to misinterpret. Follow the link in the original post and note the closing price for 3-15 as 140.72. Perhaps Yahoo has it incorrect and transposed the .27 to read .72.
