    I did some research as well and couldn't find a list of all stocks either. Only info I found is that it apparently contains more than 5,000 stocks (approx 7,000). I suggest you just write an email to someone at Wilshire and request the list directly from them. Feel free to post it here when...

    A scary equity curve - what should I do now?

    What did you expect after a 240 pt drop in the dow? A sideways day after a big move is very normal. I guess we'll see more volatility tomorrow with the option expiry..
