financials % s&p500

What is current weight of financials in S&P 500?

 

17.64%

 

XLF SPDR page says 17.62% as of 03/25/08.

 

So which is it? 17.64% or 17.62%? lol

 

The percentage changes every day, that is why I gave a date with the 17.62%.

 

It was something like 24% not too long ago.

 

thanks
