Doing Your Own Investment Research

You can stay on top of the latest business and economic developments by going to the Web site of the Institute of Supply Management at: www.napm.org (listed in our "Links" section).

If you go this site, click on "ISA Report on Business." Then click on "Latest Manufacturing ROB." This will give you a large amount of data based on monthly surveys of 400 manufacturers.

This site offers a wealth of information on broad economic as well as specific industry trends. For example, you can see that the PMI for January (56.4%) indicates that the economy is growing at a 5% annual pace. Also, you can easily find out if a particular industry is growing or contracting... and why.

So if you're the kind of investor who enjoys doing your own research, this Web site will make your task much easier!
