Darn, I hate to make mistakes. (Sorry as I have been under the
weather and am struggling to keep my eyes in focus.)
In my post before I mistakenly associated 836 as being the short part
of the industry symbol ^YH0h836 but that is wrong.
If you note the URL: http://biz.yahoo.com/ic/836.html
on that page there is a mini intraday chart with the "correct" symbol
of ^YH0h898 which is the Diversified Electronics Industry symbol.
My list is complete and is still valid. I am willing to provide it to
anyone who would like it.
