Len/Jay, anyone...

Has anyone else observed this:

If you download some of the indexes from the cbs.marketwatch.com/data/symbols/index.htx?source=htx/http2_mw

site that was posted in an earlier message and then look at the csv files that you downloaded, some of them appear to be NOT what you thought you were getting.

For example,

$SPX, downloaded from the Neurostock download area will return a file that is actually label "Spelling Entertainment", instead of the S&P500, and another one that I tried was $TXX, which instead of being the Technology Index, is labeled as being Texxaco, Inc.

What's up with this?

Thanks,

Bill
