Quote from dareminator:

Yahoo lists both outstanding and free float. I don't know how accurate it is. The resolution is fairly low (IBM is displayed as 1.28 B). You can use Amibroker/Amiquote, and probably many other charting apps, to download and automate your calculations.

Eureqa looks like one neat technology. Thanks for the pointer.



Thanks for the Yahoo tip. A little more poking around led me to Bloomberg's site, which has the float numbers in greater precision, as well as info for some stocks that Yahoo lacks, such as BRK/B.

I've got some Ruby+Nokogiri code to pull float information (could be used to pull any field Yahoo or Bloomberg exposes) from the command line, if anyone would find it useful.

Do you have the weightings



This guy http://web.archive.org/web/20080731...ntWtsSP500.html used to publish a nice list of weightings, but hasn't updated it lately. You might ping him, see if he could help you offline and/or update his site.

Following up on my previous post, I've written some code that uses the Bloomberg numbers (and falls back on Yahoo's) to calculate the float-adjusted weightings. The results are here: http://tx-0.org/sp500/

Do we have some way to get a US stock ticker list sorted by GICS sector?

Hi Johnnyqpublic

I would be keen to take a look at your code if you can email it to me. Thanks
