Ian: Thanks for those details. As the COMEQ table is new, I would like confirmation if it represents the Communication equipment Index of the S&P super 1500 Companies. If so,that index is usually used to compare small Cap Companies. I believe NN is now a Mid cap Company and therefore comparison with other Communication eqpt stocks of the S&P Midcap range will certainly be correct. Could you kindly indicate which of the two is being used. Thanks.
