This change will be a hardship for some readers, admits Times editor-at-large Mike Fancher, "but our research tells us that fewer and fewer of you rely on a printed newspaper to keep track of your investments." He adds: "By dropping the tables, we save money on newsprint and we're able to provide information that most investors will find more helpful than the old listings and more local information that readers can't find elsewhere."
