No. It's fairly easy to export data from MS. I have them set as the TSE300
has them now for each industry. But the TSE300 doesn't contain all the stocks
on the TSE. I was hoping that all the TSE stocks would be set up on Yahoo in
the industries they pertain to. Oh well, I will just have to do it the hard
way and look up each stock that is not in an industry and place it according
to the TSE's website.

Thanks
Tom
