Also from Stockcharts "Recently, the Russell company has changed the terms of their license agreements in a way that prevents us from continuing to display their indexes on our website in a cost-effective manner. We have tried to work with them to allow us to continue displaying their information, but - currently - we are no longer able to do so. We apologize for whatever inconvenience this causes you.
We recommend changing to either the equivalent S&P indexes or the ETFs that track the Russel indexes in order to track market capitalization-based equities. For example, instead of $RUT, you can now use $SML or IWM. There are actually significant advantages to using those alternatives in terms of consistency, frequency of updates, and additional small-cap coverage.
If Russell changes the terms of their license, allowing us to display their data in a cost-effective manner, we will do so. Unfortunately, currently, that does not look likely."
if it looks right it is right
