The opening price ("Open") is calculated from the dividend ("Div") and
the average price ("Price") from the previous trading period by the
following relationship:
.NF
        Price + 10 * Div
Open = ------------------
              2

In other words the opening price is the arithmetic average of the
"price" and ten times the dividend.
