Pending events website?
Hi Rik,
Thanks
for the reply. I have always scrolled through the usual company news headlines
before buying, but that can be a bit of work, and often does not
yield anything that strikes me as really important, leaving me
wondering if there might be any big issues outstanding that I don't
know about. I am not averse to trading new stocks ( new to
me! 8 - ) that I am not familiar with, and I figure it
is good to know if there might be any bombshells waiting in the wings. I was
hoping that there was some site out there that might offer a short summary
of "open issues" for each company. I spent a while searching the
web last night but didn't find anything new.
The
best thing I have found so far in this regard is S&P Stock Reports,
which is free research offered through my broker. The reports contain 2 small
sections, "Highlights" and "Investment Rationale/Risk"
which seem to do a pretty good job of mentioning any important
issues that a trader should know about before buying. Two brokers that I
know of who offer these free reports are Ameritrade and Scottrade.
Thanks
for the help!
Steve

I have my "My Yahoo" home page set up to do that. The
news seems current but isn't anywhere near being "insider info".
You can set up lists of stocks in My Yahoo and then get news
stories only for those.
It is free. I refer to it daily.
My broker also provides stock news, as does QuoteTracker.

Subject: [amibroker] OT: Pending
events website?
Hi All,
Does
anyone know of a website that offers a simple, free synopsis, on a "per
ticker" basis, of pending info/events that could dramatically affect
a company's stock price in the future? It is tiring to search through
endless news headlines looking for important stuff that may or may
not exist. I guess what I have in mind is something like the following,
which I just thought up off the top of my head:
Merck -
Pending Events
-----------------------------------
1.
Ongoing VIOXX scandal - major lawsuits undecided, more expected
2. Two
drugs currently under FDA review and awaiting approval
3.
Whispers of merger
4.
Ongoing search to replace CEO who annoucned upcoming retirement
etc,
etc...
Or, in
the alternative, anyone know where we can get free analyst reports, which would
hopefully contain this info? Thanks very much!
Steve
