Re: Where I mine data for research/news on these stocks. Good question, Toby. It's a mix of things. My biggest skill is a passion for research (too bad librarians don't get paid enough otherwise I would be one). As for searching daily newspapers, that's a problem finding a comprehensive meta-search engine ever since www.newsworks.com died a year ago. Now, most of the good sites (www.newslibrary.com) are fee sites which are prohibitively expensive.
I've been following the LCOS/USAI controversy for a while now so everytime I come across a story I bookmark it - that's where I got much of this stuff. Also, I have free access to Lexis-Nexis computer database at my old school. I'm subscribed to TheStreet.com, which has stuff, I'm also subscribed to WSJ Interactive/Barron's. Additionally, I got many of the Diller articles at a great search engine - pathfinder.com (which indexes Time, Newsweek, Money, etc) but that site is being phased out soon.
My *favorite* sites include wired.com and news.com . Both of them have daily news for techie freaks like me, and the latter especially is business oriented. Another cool feature is that both sites, at the botton, link to many relevant outside stories from various newspapers and mags.
I plugged in all of my portfolio into Yahoo's stock quotes page
and bookmarked that, which provides daily news bulletins with each stock, cool stuff. Also, I occassionally check out Yahoo! News at
dailynews.yahoo.com
I hit Smartmoney.com and CBS Marketwatch.com often too.
Well, hope that helps! If anyone else has suggestions, please chime in!

A VERY interesting compilation, Netconductor. Tell me one thing. How do you
find all those links you show at the bottom? I've been looking for a search engine
that mines all the periodicals and daily newspapers on the web for stories about my
stocks. I haven't found any. Looks like you have a solution. |
