Yes. Marketwatch, like Pinksheets, has the historical charts for each, but the historical news only goes back to Dec 2010. It is even "shorter", on Pinksheets, going back to only Jan 2011. But for example on Marketwatch, I notice there is no older historical news for even ANY stock, including midcaps, etc.. The problem with Marketwatch is they don't seem to hold the historical older news, for any stock, beyond a few months.....I do know that the historical news, for the four tickers I mentioned, USED to have older historical news, everywhere I used to look, dating back for several years worth, even here on IHUB. Perhaps it is mostly a problem with IHUBs historical news, on these stocks that were affected by the Rule 15 thing. I simply used to be able to rely on referring to IHUBs news, for a given ticker, and that info seems "purged". I could show you examples of tickers that still have hundreds of news releases, dating back to 2009, but these would all be ones that weren't on the Rule 15 lists. I guess bottom line is, I can't seem to find historical news, for say those four I mentioned, dating back to the stocks starting year, anywhere. I used to be able to do that, before the Ruling thing, and read about a stocks "history", all the way back to the 1990s if I wanted to. I imagine the only way to find "older" info, would be on some "achival" news storage website, which I haven't been able to find. Maybe the "news purged" Rule 15 tickers, is something that somebody like IHUBs Erwin or Matt, are fully aware of the situation. I can only guess this, and maybe it's something they aren't "concerned" about, or it's way too much bother, to replace all the missing news for these tickers, here on IHUB. Perhaps I should ask them, over on that board, just to see if they are "aware" of it.

I realize now that you stated Market Trader, not Marketwatch. My wrong......I use Fidelity's software for my "viewing" normally. Perhaps I should "reload" my Market Trader software, and fire it up, to see the "difference" in the news that it provides, for each ticker. Understand though, Market Trader is a "trading" software, and is a bit different than what I was mentioning, about the "rest of the world", as far as say common ticker info websites, like Yahoo, Marketwatch, Google, IHUB, etc.......
