Sun Tzu, re > fundamental data on Russell 3000 components.< I don't know of any other way of finding data than one stock at a time. I use Yahoo and WSJ mostly. Gottfried

You might be able to get a lot of the information from one of those CD-based subscriptions produced by NAII or AAII and their ilk. I think there are several of them, directed at small-caps, that cover something like 12,000 companies or something like that. I used to subscribe to AAII's "Stock Investor". Stopped only because it was tough to look at. I understand it's gone through a couple improvements. You can select by screens for companies matching given criteria (eg., market cap between X and Y), which might approximate the index. I think you can also input individual data points. Thus you could go through the database once selecting the companies in the index manually, and then update. It lets you define portfolios. This all from dim memory. JS

Sun Tzu, OTOT [edited] *** On the other hand there is "Power Investor" by Investor's Alliance. For $92 per year you get the software and free daily downloads for about 20k issues [includes mutual funds]. Makes it easy to compare fundamentals and screening is included. Here's an old example of price vs PSR from this program. geocities.com:80/WallStreet/5464/psramat.gif A free demo [1.1MB] is here ftp://ftp.PowerInvestor.com/PowerInvestor/demo.exe It may not be what you're looking for, but at $92 it's worth a try. Here's another example of what you get... powerinvestor.com Gottfried
