We wonder if it's such a smart thing to ditch the stock tables. In the short run it may be a good idea, as it saves on newsprint; but it also denies investors an opportunity to scan for new investments, to go through them casually by alphabetical order, something impossible on the Web. We hope the Wall Street Journals never eliminate their stock tables; that would be unthinkable. But some unthinkable things have happened to this biz in recent years.
Indeed we can think of a lot of things that we'd ditch before the stock tables.
