I want to do some analysis comparing a stock to its sector. But I can't find a list of stock associated with each sector.
Does DTN have this? OR
Does anyone know where I could find this in an electronic format? I have been looking for a few weeks, and I can't find a list.
Any idea or pointer would be appreciated.
thanks,
Jean-Francois

We are working on a new symbol lookup utility on our website which will allow you to query for stocks based on SIC. Thus, if you know the SIC for the sector you are interested in (we provide the SIC as a data element), you would be able to go to our site and pull a list of the rest of the symbols which share that SIC code. This will be a few weeks out, but it is something on our list.

This is a good idea.
I saw the SIC element in the fundamental data format.
Do you currently have a list of the SIC codes with their names? I couldn't find it in the documentation.
Thanks,

Thanks a lot Ted. This is exactly what I wanted.
Anyone knows how to get the same info for the canadian exchanges? I know IQFeed doesn't carry a SIC code for the canadian securities, but I was wondering if anyone found a list somewhere.
I looked on the TSE website and couldn't find anything of use and they haven't been answering my email either.
thanks for your help,
JF
