one would think so... except for this thing called the closing cross... nearly all stocks added to russell were down in the closing minutes (seconds) of 6/27/14... and on large end-of-day volume to boot...

"The Closing Cross brings together the buy and sell interest in specific NASDAQ, NYSE and NYSE Amex stocks and executes all shares for each stock at a single price, one that reflects the true supply and demand for these securities. All nationally-listed securities are eligible for the NASDAQ Closing Cross."

"Approximately 810.6 million shares representing $17.9 billion were executed in the NASDAQ Closing Cross in 575 milliseconds across some 2,304 NASDAQ-listed stocks."
