May I ask what program are you using or how you accomplish this? I am using a program purchased from Equis called IRL which you furnish the program with a list of stocks and select one of their programmed methods of generating the index and each day you request this program to use your metastock data files retrieve these files and generate the indices. So far I have only use up to 30 or 40 stocks for one index. I have found that stock splits and changes, symbol changes and weighting number changes occur frequently and make this task a little more difficult than other programs with more automation.
However I value the results as helpful to finding new emerging groups for bullish moves. This helps to focus ones energy on only a portion of the 9000+ stocks which I download daily. Hope to hear from you as this approach is fascinating. Perhaps we both and others not heard from yet can share and benefit from group participation.
For further info on your questions I do not have answers but will share with you that I use http:\\www.quotes.yahoo.com often to get quotes and via that source you may also ask for news. After a quote given for example on ITT click on "News" and frequently it gives the info on the symbol selected.

Subject: Symbol Changes
I have not updated my SP500 index in a while, and it seems that the
following stocks... CBB, CFL, FG, and ITT... have changed stock symbols or
were removed. Could someone please tell me what happened to them and what
their new symbol is.
