Sector and industry indices are kept by a number of organizations at this
point. Dow Jones have kept a number of series for a long time, S&P have them
back to the late 90's (the basis for SPDRS)and using GICS, IBD have their
own categories, as do Reuters and one or two others (e.g., the system in
TC2000). There are fundamental data classifications that go back further.
They all have their own limitations. The ideal series would have 20 years of
price (and preferably volume) data for the indices themselves and then the
ability to drill down into the current constituent stocks. The prices are
not established by the exchanges but by the sponsoring data organizations.
To be clear, what you need is not just a way of categorizing or sorting
companies, but a chartable index for that particular category.
