Smitty --
Very interesting link you sent.  Changes in any one year from more than
10% to over 30% in one year.  Amazing.

What I find even more curiouser and curiouser is that every year there
are more additions than deletions.  How do they do that without ending
up with more that 2000 symbols?  The only excuse that I can think of is
that they do not count
as 'deletions'
companies that drop out of their own accord (buyouts, bankruptcies,
etc.) during the year.

Thanks for the input.

than 92% right now??
