The Corporate Directory of US
Public Companies
|
|
| Financial and business data for over 10,000 (mostly
listed) public companies, including foreign companies filing American
Depositary Receipts (ADR's). This huge database is published annually
both as a book and as a CD-ROM. |
|
|
Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis
& Retrieval System (Edgar)
|
|
| This is THE place to go for annual and quarterly
information filed with the SEC by reporting companies. Even though
it's on the SEC's own web site (which has a separate entry on
this page), this searchable archive deserves special mention.
The database was fully phased in by May, 1996, which means that
filings prior to that date are not necessarily available. Check
it out: |

|
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC)
|
|
| Virtually every bank in the US deposits some quarterly
financial data with the FDIC, and it's all available at their
web site. Compare deposit market shares of banks in the state
and on the date of your choice, find out when your new online
bank got FDIC insurance, or just catch up on banking news. You
can find the full text of FDIC laws and regulations here too—the
site is a researcher's paradise. |

| Since 1913, the Pink SheetsĘ have offered "a
comprehensive list of U.S. and non-U.S. equity securities",
according to a page 1 subtitle of this weekly National Quotation
Bureau publication. Their unique appearance is what gave them
their name: long, narrow sheets of decidedly pink newsprint, bound
at the top—they were the single most important guide to current
activity in the OTC and NASDAQ markets prior to the introduction
of the Bulletin
Board by the NASD in 1990. Recently the once daily publication
gave way to weekly "directory" editions. Now printed
and bound in an 8 1/2 by 11 format (still pink in color), the
weekly edition has added the Partnership Sheets to the original
data mix. The Pink SheetsĘ are available only by subscription,
and only to broker dealers and financial institutions. |

Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC)
|
|
| Herbert Hoover wouldn't do it. Franklin
Delano Roosevelt—as governor of New York—wouldn't
either. But after his election to the presidency,
FDR took away Wall Street's coveted privilege of self-regulation
forever when he signed the Securities Act of 1933
and, especially, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
into law. The latter provided for the creation of
a new federal agency that now regulates the issue
and trading of securities in US: the SEC. On their
web site you'll find a lot of investor oriented information
as well as a jewel of an archive called Edgar. |

|

squarely on small bank stocks, with each issue containing buy/sell
and hold recommendations. Trial subscriptions are available. For
a nominal fee, the company will also be happy to analyse the bank
of your choice. |

|
| "This book", you'll read in the first
sentence of chapter 1, "is about stock markets and the way
they work". The 6th edition is information packed, long on
explanations and short on commentary. A great reference book for
anything to do with securities markets here in the US, or to a
limited extent, abroad. |
