A lot of the assignment of a stock to an industry is based on experience
collected over the years. But there are many sources of stocks by industry.
Value Line is one and it is likely available in the business section of your
public library. Each bimonthly issue is dedicated to one or two industries.
IBD is about to publish an entire book on all their industry groupings with a
list of the stocks in each industry.
Another source is a good data base such as Comtex or Reuters where you can
punch in the symbol and retrieve the latest news on the stock. These
retrievals will typically have a profile on the company's business hence their
industry.
For stocks that do not readily fit into a particular industry, I place them in
a folder called "data". That is, Equis/data/data. (Autos are in
Equis/data/autos).
Hope this helps,
