Benefits of reading research report

Today we live in a world of free flow of information and so many channels, newspapers, brokers reports and analyst reports are available, but never will all views be  similar and it can’t be. Investors and traders should be smart to take informed decision on their investments or trading calls as you have control of your money and investment. http://prabhakar-views.blogspot.com/2010/02/caution-to-investors-from-sebi.html

Benefits of reading reports-one should understand low equity, low market capitalization or shady management stocks normally do not get coverage from analysts. Today there are so many penny stocks or small cap stocks which are @ crazy valuations which do not have fundamentals. So investors should check more details about these companies, news flows on these companies and there are many websites which can contribute for investors.

Some Paid sites

http://www.capitaline.com/new/index.asp  

http://www.cmie.com/index.php  

http://www.infinancials.com/  

http://www.factset.com/  

These are a few websites which would help investors track their investments and any news flows also can checked, financials and other relevant data can be taken.

CAUTION: Investors have limited time to do detail study or lack of understanding as they don’t know how to make best use of this information. For them my advice would be to take mutual fund route. Mid size Research house has 40-60 people how a single investor who can’t make company visit can make best use so much information available to him.
