The 10-K - An Investor's Best Friend!

One of the best tools available to any investor is the SEC's Web site, which we have listed among the links available to you at this Information Blog. At that Web site, you can obtain a wealth of information on any publicly traded company.

One document that you really should review when considering a stock is the firm's 10-K report.

This report, provided in conjunction with the firm's annual report each year, provides the most detailed information that you could ever need in order to properly determine the suitability of a given company as a "fit" for your particular investing style.

The 10-K is especially useful in providing background information on the company's business. The 10-K also contains all financial statements and,
more importantly, the footnotes to those financial statements.

You really should consider a company's 10-K as must reading - before making any investment in that company. That's because by reading a 10-K, you will develop a much stronger impression about a particular company. And, you'll remove a lot of the guesswork that goes with picking stocks. Plus, you'll have a stronger conviction in your opinion.

In short, you'll make much smarter investment decisions because by spending time with this important document, it will definitely help you become a better investor!
