Members will not need to worry about space left by missing graphics. Our staff is going through all weekly pages and replacing discontinued modules with alternative data. If you would like to request specific replacement content, please contact stocks@ap.org. Otherwise, the markets staff will choose appropriate alternative content wherever possible. Data Charts for "Winners and Losers," ''Industry Rankings," ''Dow 30" and "Weekly Interest Rates" will be discontinued, but the agate data will remain.

Money & Markets is a dynamic text, data and graphic product consisting of modules that focus on stocks, mutual funds and other financial markets. Money & Markets is produced five days a week. Its sister product, Money & Markets Extra, is aimed at a weekend audience. Data modules help investors assess the performance of stocks, mutual funds and other investments, while the text modules are explanatory, analytical and forward-looking.
