I would like a list of the top fifty stocks listed on the South
Korean Stock Exchange listed in descending order of market
capitalization and I would like the approximate market capitalization
of each stock.

[These columns were all neatly arranged when I posted them, but I fear
they may not survive the posting intact...my apologies in advance for
any messiness].


The information came from the Korean Exchange website at:


http://www.kse.or.kr/webeng/



Click on the option for "Liated Company Lookup" near the top of the
page, and this will take you to a table with a few listed stocks.

At the top of the table is a pull-down menu, and from it, you should
select "Search Criteria".

This will take you to a search page where you can select stocks by
market cap.  By repeatedly selecting different value ranges, you can
work your way down through the top 50 stocks, as I did, to create your
table.

Hope this is everything you needed, but if there are any questions,
just let me know by posting a Request for Clarification, and I'll be
happy to assist you further.
