I used to do the same thing when I had Bloomberg too. The Yahoo data
is pretty good, but does have its problems of course.
I usually run my updates about 2 hours after the markets close. It
would be nice to know how many stocks get deleted or created each day,
but I have never checked. I don't think you will see many changes from
day to day, but month to month probably a dozen or so.
Thanks,
Jim
