Yeah, I can find the ETF and AMEX list. But I
haven't yet found a list of NAZ or NYSE stocks.

I agree and ETFs are easy. A number of
websites, including those with RSS feeds, publish new listings (e.g.,
Seeking Alpha) as they are applied for and listed. Stocks are probably
similarly available from websites, exchanges, brokers, etc. but I don't
follow them. Google away.

JimSwindle> US STOCKS DATABASE UPDATE
Well, I'm not sure why anyone needs to pay for stuff that's
available free.
For instance, CSI is a great vendor, but then Yahoo gets
the data from CSI
and publishes it for free. What's really needed
is the list of tickers,
however, and perhaps that can only be done
efficiently by paying for it.
For me, it's not so bad that there's a
ticker that no longer exists -- I
just check to see what the last
download date was -- if it's in the past
then I assume it's
dead.
However, keeping up with new issues is more difficult. I
don't understand
how to scrape the Yahoo site for a list of, say all of
the current ETFs, or
all of the stocks currently trading on the
AMEX. Can anyone help me with
that?
I was using Swindle's
list, but now that seems to be gone... so I need to
hunt for a new
list.
Thanks
