As of 10/10/14, a source @ Verus tells me they had no idea MSN would pull the StockScouter ratings off the MSN site. They obviously know now, but are still under contract with MSN to provide the ratings exclusively to MSN. They are not allowed to provide
the ratings to anyone besides MSN without permission. So long as MSN maintains the contract with Verus, MSN is the gatekeeper to the StockScouter ratings and they are not available through any other site, or even from Verus directly. In fact, Verus is still
providing updated StockScouter ratings to MSN daily. MSN is just choosing to provide Morningstar now instead of StockScouter.
I understand the best and only option currently is to give feedback to MSN stating your desire to access StockScouter ratings. I am hopeful MSN changes their mind as it seems many people only visited MSN Money for these proprietary ratings, including myself.
Real money is being managed by financial professionals by using the StockScouter ratings in some capacity, including my firm to the tune of $30+ million. Even if it were provided via some paid service, I believe many of us would be willing to subscribe. If
not, i'd really like to see MSN allow Verus to share the ratings with people, even if only temporarily, while they are decide what to do going forward.
If anyone has updates beyond this regarding the future of StockScouter ratings, PLEASE share within this comment stream so we may be better informed. Thanks!
