Hi,
I thought about this, but I want something more systemic.. I mean: I want to
build indicators based on that so I don't want to have to change the indexes
manually each time. I would like to have thev base index + industry/sector
index automatically for each stock...
Sorry if I am not clear enough; english is not my first language.
Thanks for your help!
Louis
