The Engadget Index Revivied (EGI)
(Taken shamelessly from Engadget)
I was reading Ryan Block’s Blog and noticed one of his Resolutions was to revive the Engadget Index (EGI) so I decided to go ahead and do that for him.
Basically it consists of 1 share “purchased” in 50 various consumer electronics (CE) companies at prices dated to October 2nd, 2006. The total value of the Portfolio at that time was $1475.16.
I have revived it by taking those 50 stocks and putting them in to a spreadsheet and using Google finance to calculate the daily increase or decrease in the index.
The 50 Stocks are:
- AAPL – Apple
- AMD – AMD
- AT – Alltel
- BLS – Bell South (removed non-existent changed to ATT-AT&T)
- CAJ – Canon
- CHU – China Unicom
- CREAF – Creative
- CSCO – Cisco
- DELL – Dell
- DISH – Echostar (DISH)
- DT – Deutsche Telekom
- DTV – DirecTV
- EK – Eastman Kodak
- ERIC – Ericsson
- FUJIY – FujiFilm
- GRMN – Garmin
- GTW – Gateway (Symbol is GATEX)
- HIT – Hitachi
- HPQ – HP
- INTC – Intel
- KYO – Kyocera
- LOGI – Logitech
- MC – Matsushita (Panasonic)
- MOT – Motorola
- MSFT – Microsoft
- NAPS – Napster
- NIPNY – NEC
- NOK – Nokia
- NTT – Nippon Telegraph & Telephone
- PALM – Palm
- PHG – Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (Philips)
- RIMM – Research in Motion
- RNWK – Real Networks
- S – Sprint-Nextel
- SANYY – Sanyo
- SI – Siemens
- SIRI – Sirius
- SKM – SK Telecom
- SNDK – Sandisk
- SNE – Sony

- T – AT&T
- TIVO – TiVo
- TMS – Thomson (RCA)
- TXN – Texas Instruments
- UTSI – UT Starcom
- VG – Vonage
- VOD – Vodafone
- VZ – Verizon
- XMSR – XM
Now for the moment you have all been waiting for…
