I am in the procees of reworking an excel file that Norman had started
showing Industry Groups.  I am going back to use ratings from the Tuesday
edition of the paper as it appears that this may be best.  The workbook also
includes a graph for each industry.  I plan on updating the sheet every
Tuesday night to graphically show which industries are moving up.  I have
compiled information back to August, just haven't got it all typed in.
Maybe I'll get time over the break to finish.
