An Investor's Best Friend

One of the best tools available to every investor is the SEC's Website (found in our list of Links). At this Website, an investor can obtain a wealth of free information on any publicly traded company.

One document that you should always 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 a wealth of information on a company.

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 the financial statements.

A company's 10-K is must reading before investing in any company. That's because by reading a 10-K, you will develop a much stronger impression about a particular company. You'll also remove a lot of the guesswork that goes with picking stocks. And you'll have stronger conviction in your opinion.

In short, you'll make much smarter investment decisions.

You can depend on the fact that spending time with this 10-K document will help you become a better investor!
