ecri wli again ....

well i had to check this to make sure i remembered correctly. this is just from a random search on google, so the particular month and data aren't important, just the wli components:

LEADING INDICATORS. Six of the ten indicators that make up the leading index increased in May. The positive contributors to the leading index in May - from largest to smallest - were interest rate spread, stock prices, index of consumer expectations, money supply, building permits, and manufacturers' new orders for nondefense capital goods. The negative contributors to the index ­ from the largest negative contributor to the smallest - were vendor performance, average weekly manufacturing hours, and average weekly initial claims for unemployment insurance. Manufacturers' new orders for consumer goods and materials held steady for the month of May.

i recall folloiwing someone's data about 1 yr ago who used to recompute the wli's by including nasdaq data, so i'm pretty sure that "stock prices" here does not include nasdaq traded stocks.
