Doug,
I followed up by looking at the S&P website and started moving some
of my stocks over into industry folders based on GICS.
I don't feel I need the entire universe, only symbols with reasonable
volume - most likely S&P500.
I also looked at the resolution of GICS and struggled with how far to
go. I think there were 10 sectors, then 26 industry groups followed
by 50 something industries and 100 something sub-industries.
I settled on the industry group level.
I'm still working on it.
