I don't know where such a list can be found. The values
fluctuate on a day-to-day basis (obviously) so I suppose it
would have to be continuously udated. Value Line publishes,
from time to time, a listing of the top 30 or so stocks in
the index by market cap. Here's the latest from them
(company and market cap in billions):
G.E..................290.80
Microsoft..........258.88
Coca-Cola........196.78
Exxon..............164.09
Merck..............149.71
Wal-Mart..........147.56
Intel..................143.85
Pfizer................132.93
IBM...................120.69
Lucent..............118.08
Those are the top ten. For a point of reference, number 30
on the list is Schering-Plough with a market cap of 68.23B.
Best regards,
Jim
