Is that the VL 1500 stocks with timeliness?

No timeliness requirement, just whatever is in their standard "1700 stock" database subscription.
About 1603 stocks lately...it varies.

Once you eliminate those that have one or more of the four required fields not populated, there are currently 1210 stocks that go into the sort step.
If you add the sensible step of requiring that the cash and equity fields both be positive (which I just thought of, oops), there would be 1145 going into the sort.
