Hi Tom,

For a free source where you can download 16 months of closing values on
indexes, you can use Yahoo.  For instance, here is the link for 16
months of daily closing data for the Russell 2000.

http://table.finance.yahoo.com/d?a=5&b=3&c=2000&d=11&e=3&f=2002&g=d&s=^R
UT

At the top of the web page, you can modify the index symbol, start date
and stop date for the information, and the closing price duration (i.e.,
daily, weekly, or monthly).  At the bottom of the web page you can click
the link that allows you to download the info to a spreadsheet.

For your convenience, here's a list of fairly comprehensive list of
tickers for the various indices:

 ^SPX 	S&P 500
 ^RUT 	Russell 2000
 ^NDX 	Nasdaq 100
 ^OEX 	S&P 100
 ^SML 	S&P 600 (Small Caps)
 ^MID 	S&P 400 (Mid Caps)
 ^RUI 	Russell 1000
 ^RUA 	Russell 3000
 ^VLE 	Value Line
 ^WLSH 	Wilshire 5000
 ^NYA		NYSE Composite 
 ^COMPQ 	Nasdaq Composite
 ^DJA 	Dow Composite
 ^XAX 	AMEX Composite
 ^DJI		Dow Industrial Average
 ^DJT       Dow Transportation Average
 ^DJU		Dow Utility Average
 ^INDU 	Dow Industrial
 ^TRAN 	Dow Transports
 ^UTIL 	Dow Utilities

The link itself can also be modified as follows:  

a= the month (from 0 to 11) of the starting date
b= the day of the month (1 to 31) of the starting date
c= the starting year
d= the month (from 0 to 11) of the end date
e= the day of the month (1 to 31) of the end date
f= the end year
g= d for daily, w for weekly, m for monthly
s= the index symbol (from the list above)

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
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.
