Okay, continuing the discussion, if one simply wants one list (one simple
text file) of NYSE stock symbols....
Yep, in order to use Downloader for obtaining the NYSE list, one must create
two folders, since more than 2000 symbols, and put half the NYSE look-up in
the first, and half in the second. From that point, one can do a simple
exploration in MS, with filter off, and just capture the resulting columns
of output to clipboard (Ctrl-V), then paste in Excel (etc.), copy the
symbols column, and paste to a text file.....
Whew, but that's so convoluted.
No, I haven't sent MS this particular 'enhancement' request --- there are
sooooo many more pressing things for them to do with MS that they haven't
yet gotten around to. Compiling stock lists is just a once-in-a-great-while
thing.
====================
Regarding the gas situation in Europe, those empty grocery shelves sure sent
a scare through me. It took so little to make that happen. Could it happen
over here, given some unseemly event?
Thanks again,
Nicholas
