Tom,

I don't know of any indexes that specifically track small-cap tech
stocks, let along small-cap growth tech stocks.  However, you can start
creating your own index, and in a year or two, you'll have a great set
of information to work with.

Here's how you can download a spreadsheet of all small-cap technology
stocks that meet any criteria you want. Forgive me for being extremely
detailed with the instructions; I've always been known as an overly
verbose person, but I would rather have too much information than not
enough.  You probably know how to do all this already, but here it goes
anyway. 

(1) Go to http://www.marketguide.com/home.asp
(2) Click "Screening Tools" 
(3) Click the "Add" button
(4) In the "Categories" box, choose "Descriptive"
(5) In the "Variables" box, choose "SectorCode"
(6) Click the "Select" button
(7) In the pop-up window, choose the options "In the Set" and
"Technology," then click "OK."
(8) After the pop-up window goes away, click "OK" in the "Criterion"
section.
(9) Click the "Add" button again (same as step 3).
(10) In the "Categories" box, choose "Share Related Items."
(11) In the "Variables" box, choose MktCap.
(12) Click the "Select" button.
(13) In the Criterion edit box, you should see "{MktCap}."  Edit the
criterion so that it reads "{MktCap}<=500" (if 500 million is your upper
limit for capitalization).
(14) Click "OK."  NOTE: If you want to add any more screening criteria,
you can repeat steps (9) through (14) again and get as picky as you
please.
(15) In the resulting screen window, you'll see a column called
"Results" that lists the number of stocks that meet your criteria.
Click on the underlined number of stocks.
(16) Now you should be on a web page listing the first 100 stocks that
meet your criteria.  Use the "Add/Remove/Arrange Columns" button in
order to view all the additional information you're interested in (EPS
growth or whatever.)
(17) Use the "Sort" button to sort the columns by your preference.
(18) When you're finished, click "Download to Spreadsheet."

That's it.  If you plan on downloading the updated spreadsheet
frequently, you can do what Mike Gibbons has done for his sector
analysis information:  make a URL that does all the above for you
automatically.

Curt

Subject: [CANSLIM] question?

any suggestions from the group as to which indexes best measure the
performance of a small cap information technology growth fund? I am
looking
for an index that collectively includes each specific element, that is
"small cap", "IT or at least technology", and "growth".

I am also looking for a free source where I can download about 16 months
of
closing values on a number of indexes, including the Dow 30, Naz Comp,
NYSE
Comp, S&P 400 and 600, and Russell 2000. Daily or weekly (as of Friday)
is
fine.
