I like to collect daily data for Fidelity Industry Groups. Where do I find the symbols for industry groups so I can create a dataset for them.

Thanks

Cone,

That allows me to collect data for each stock in the industry group. What I want is to collect daily data for each industry group such as Consumer Finance or Biotech etc. Is there a symbol for each industry group that would allow me to create a Dataset of indusrtry groups.

Thanks

You can probably find something of the sort in the form of ETFs. There are hundreds (thousands?) of them that are designed to follow a particular instrument (like GLD for gold or TLT for US bonds), indexes (like SPY for S&P 500 or DIA for the Dow 30), etc.

Unless someone else reading this has done the background work, it's time to start searching!

avishn,
That's the closest industry group data I found. But being a Fidelity data user why isn't there industry group data available for download since these same data are ploted on Fidelity site or is it that I don't know how to access the symbols for them.

Thanks

Cone,

If I want to screen stocks where the price of the Industry Group they belong to crosses above the 20ma, how do I go about doing that i.e using the GICS schema.

Where does the "price" of an Industry Group come from?
