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.

Check in the FAQ on this site -- I posted a complete list of sectors and their industry groups.
