sectors/industries ?"

Thank you all for your comments.
I have been swing trading
for about 25 years using EOD data, the past 8 years or so, online. I have
used paid EOD data in the past with TC2000 and other programs before using
Amibroker and my profitability has not changed with free EOD from Yahoo
into AB.
I see no reason to fork out $ 3-400 per year when Yahoo EOD
works for me.
If anyone can suggest how to easily classify my Yahoo
tickers (or the whole US stock market)into sectors/industries etc...I
would be
grateful.
Thanks
