Yes they could and it would not take much. But the way Equis and RTD are
currently setup it does not meet the needs of people who download a large
number of securities and then scan that data for specific conditions.
They seem to cater to the customer who is tracking 400 or so securities.
There is nothing wrong with that approach as long as that is the market you
are willing to depend on for your bread and butter in the long term.
