RE: [amibroker] Method to Copy Russell files

Dear David,

About two weeks ago I needed to build a fresh Russell 2000 ticker list for
Amibroker.  I converted the PDF from the Russell website
(http://www.russell.com/us/indexes/us/default.asp) into a .txt file via
Excel and ultimately into a .tls file via NotePad for Amibroker.  I've
attached both the Russell 2000 PDF and the .tls file for your review.  You
will note that the Russell is fairly current (June 30, 2006) but there are
only 1993 tickers;  this is normal as stocks fall off the listing during the
year.

 

Regards,

 

Fred

the ishares website. You have to register but its free and you can get an
excel or csv file which is easier than trying to copy from the Russell
PDF's. Attached is what the Russell 2000 looks like.
