Maybe you were caught up in the Facebook IPO frenzy. Perhaps you prefer predictable mutual funds. Either way, you know that good information makes you a better investor. Sure, you can use Yahoo! or Google for looking into companies and following trends. If you really want to crack your knuckles and get serious about your research, though, here are a few tools that the library provides (and are accessible from home):
Morningstar
Morningstar has in-depth information on stocks and mutual funds and can help you build a balanced portfolio. It also includes the Morningstar ratings.
Mergent Online
Mergent Online has current information on publicly held companies including company financials, EDGAR reports, news articles, annual reports and company histories.
Value Line
Value Line offers up-to-date expert analysis and commentary on stocks, mutual funds, and other types of investments.
So, go forth and prosper! And if you strike it rich, you'll remember your old pal, the library, right?
Can I access these resources from home?
With a valid Des Plaines Public Library, any of the links above should take you right to the online resource.
Don't have a library card? Stop by sometime and get one. Any Des Plaines resident can apply.
