Question #74667 (2010-07-01)

  Hi, I'd like to learn how to research companies so that I
can decide whether or not to buy their stocks. Can you
recommend some online and print resources? Thank you for
your help!

Answer(s):

Thank you for your query concerning investment information.

Our E-Library has a section titled Business, Directories, Investment and Careers. This can be found under the heading of "Subject Find" The electronic resources available to you remotely, from your home computer are Mergent Online and Mergent WebReports, Valueline Investment Survey Reports Online, Business and Company Resource Centre and Business Source Complete. Financial Post is only available from one of our library computers. You might want to look at some of the other databases in this list to see if they might help you in your decision making process. In addition to these electronic sources, the main library, Castell, has an Investment Area where we keep numberous financial and investment publications. These do not circulate so you must view them in the library only. We retain such titles as the Moneyletter, Successful Investor and Doig's Digest to mention just a few. We hope this information is helpful. If you require clarification or help with any of this, please feel free to call the Business, Science and Social Science department at the Castell branch. Thank you for using AAQ.
