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.

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
