Company information from Google, News and Web Sites

Be careful of these sites.  While very easy to use and extremely efficient in mining data, you get what you pay for.  Anyone can say just about anything about a company and if the search engine makes a match it will populate your screen. 

       Google – remember that it’s free.  There’s an old saying that if you pay in peanuts, you will get monkeys for employees.  In a similar fashion, if you get free information it’s worth every penny you paid!
       News – most will have a bias or interest even though they say they don’t.
       Web sites/PR/Investors Relations – like the NY Times, they only print the news they think fit to print – normally highly biased information.
