Mattu,

I hope you find this information useful...

As you know, a lot of people who make new boards leave them in the "Banking and Finance" section by default.

While watching the game, I thought what the heck, and copy/pasted the list into a text file, and used MSN and Yahoo Finance to figure out where the boards SHOULD go.

(I paid no attention the non-stock boards in the B&F section because I didn't want to upset anyone's crib.)

Most of this was done by simply bringing up the MSN quote, checking the exchange, and reading the last press release for company description. Sometimes I also looked at the iHub board or company website.

Some of these could be quibbled with, but I was pretty careful to put them in the right slot and they're definitely better off in these slots than in B&F anyway.

If you ever get time on your hands on a rainy day to shuffle these around, it'll blow that logjam out of the B&F area and make the rest of the groups look bigger.

Here ya go:
