I looked at some company reports and I'm not familar with the sectors. I'm most familar with the S&P 10 sectors as described in the Global Industry Classification Standard, but I know different groups divide the stocks into different sectors. How many sectors are in this data base and where can I see a description of what each sector includes. I looked up SBUX and it listed Services and I looked up WAG and it was also Services.
