before the download will complete.

Thank you Curt, that is extremely helpful and I can definitely use it
myself.

Now , to save everyone time, the result of that process will be to send to
the Multex server a request for information (a URL) as follows:

http://www.marketguide.com/screen/Results.asp?Start=1&Max=100&PortfolioType=
Active%20Companies&Showfields=Ticker,Name,IndDescr,SectorDescr

Click it and you'll then be able to download the ticker, name, industry and
sector without stepping through the pages Curt described. But I never would
have known how to get to the final URL without his first publishing the
steps. Once, thanks Curt.

Here's a method for finding what sector and industry group that a
particular stock belongs to.

1. Visit http://www.marketguide.com/home.asp
2. Click on the "Screening Tools" button
3. Click on the link that reads "9170 Active Companies"
4. Click on "Add/Remove/Arrange Columns"
5. Choose "DESCRIPTIVE" for the "Value Category"
6. Select and add the following two (to four) variables:
   * IndDescr (and/or IndCode)
   * SectorDescr (and/or SectorCode)
7. Click OK
8. Click the "Download to Spreadsheet" button
9. After the spreadsheet is downloaded, you can sort it however you want
(by Sector, Industry, or Ticker symbol).

I don't think the sector or industry categories exactly match the
categories that IBD uses (in case that matters), but they will probably
be close enough to get the job done.

Subject: [CANSLIM] sector identification

All,

I have been starting to do some sector analysis, and was wondering if
someone could point me to a website that would allow me to figure out
what
sector a particular company belongs in, and more importantly, if there
is
an index within that sector that the stock belongs to.

I am interested in point and figure charting for a sector, and am
working
backwards, ie using CANSLIM to identify a good company, but then wanting
to
use P&F sector charting to see the sector strength.

Any ideas?

Have a nice weekend

Mike
