Notice!
I listed brokers first
so that you could order their new account
information and start making comparisons.
I suggest you go ahead and order the same material
from information and data providers.
Study and compare
what they have to offer. Quality information is absolutely
crucial.Get every piece of current news that's available
before you make a penny stocks trade!
The amount of (and the quality of) information that's available
on your
desktop computer is just about beyond description. Once
you start your
search for specific stocks to buy, you'll quickly realize
the importance of
accurate and current market information.
When I look for stocks to buy I always try to narrow down
the selected
field to the best possible candidates. I start looking for
news on each of
the stocks I've selected. I want as much news as I can possibly
find. The
major financial news outlets and wire services all offer
online releases.
It's relatively easy to use your computer to get historical
stock information
and company news releases on just about any individual stock.
It only
takes a few mouse clicks to find quarterly reports and highlights
of any
recent stockholder meeting.
Most of the online service providers (AOL, MSN, Prodigy,
and Yahoo!)
have quite good stock market and investment information.
It's common
to find news releases on one individual stock that goes
back as far as a
month or more. Late breaking (good or bad) news can save
the day.
Let me say that I have not forgotten the major financial
newspapers. The
two best known are the Wall Street Journal and Investor's
Business Daily.
I read them both on occasion, but I find them to be too
time consuming.
It's much easier to log on to my computer and find exactly
what I want.
You can type in your stock symbol and find a ton of useful
information.
You'll find historical price charts and graphs for individual
stocks that go
back a month, a year, three years, or more. You'll get quotes,
company
news, earnings reports, new product information, and much
more.
