Forgive the title. I did not mean to type "Investor Relations
Industry".

A better title would be "Size of the Investor Communications Delivery
Industry", defined as the amount of money spent annually to send to
investors compliance materials including but not limited to
prospectuses, annual reports, account statements, trade confirmations,
and other documents on behalf of mutual funds, corporate equities,
brokerage firms, and retirement plans.

By "investors", I mean individuals who have purchased or own stock,
bonds or mutual funds, directly or through a third party.
