Please help me identify Argentinian stocks corresponding to each of the
following 12 industries:  Consumer Durables, Consumer Non-Durables,
Manufacturing, Energy, Chemical, Business Equipment, Telephone and
Television, Utilities, Shops, Health, Finance, and all remaining.
I have obtained the list of industries from
http://mba.tuck.dartmouth.edu/pages/faculty/ken.french/Data_Library/det_12_ind_port.html
In other words, the answer should consist of 12 company names,
and corresponding tickers.  The answer should include a justification
for why you assigned a particular company to a given industry.
Each company's historical (daily or weekly) (1991-2005) price data
should be available on http://finance.yahoo.com (or a similar free
service).
Each company should be one of the major players in the particular
industry (in Argentina).
Example:  If the question above were asking to name 12 U.S. companies
corresponding to those 12 industries, then a sample answer would be:
"Industry	          Company	                Symbol
