Company Web sites

Company Web sites contain a lot of valuable information. Most companies will post their annual reports, historical information, locations, and finacial reports on their sites. Keep in mind that the information available on the company's Web site is used as a marketing tool, and will put a positive spin on the company's health. This information can often be found under links such as Investor Relations, About Us, or Shareholder Information. Most often a company's Web site is www.companyname.com, if this is not the case a Google search will usually take you to your company's Web site.

Annual reports are available from aggregate Web sites such as, Annaul Reports.com or the Annual Reports Library.

Search Google to find your company's Web site.
