Hello Dick, As you are a Yahoo user:
The S&P symbols might not match Yahoo? To get current Yahoo index lists (note - limited to a few only). Yahoo stock screener, which was part of their RT subscribers package, is now free. http://screener.finance.yahoo.com/newscreener.html Use the Java stockscreener and not the HTML screener. Screen by criteria >descriptive>S&P500> sector by sector. Manually enter 200 into the number to include (200 is the limit so that is why it has to be done sector by sector). I son't know how good it is as they only come up with 470 stocks in the list. I am including the above in a series of infromational articles on Yahoo data and database management for the UKB site. refer to: http://www.amibroker.org/userkb/2007/05/12/example-database/ Sorry but the series is only just beginning and I haven't made it to the Stock screener yet (I have been busy on UKB setup and admin tasks). Of course, in the end you can't beat the advanced download methods of Jim Swindle, David Piatek and Dingo - extracting the Yahoo S&P 500 from their lists would be superior to the methods I am writing about. I am covering the basic stuff as an educational series to strengthen our knowledge of AB features, rather than expecting that many would acutally use my methods frequently (it's far easier and quicker to use Jims database). We are looking for other authors to write tutorials, articles etc on other ways of acquiring and managing data (I am only doing 'everything Yahoo up to intermediate level).
