Sites that Look at ADRs Monday, November 18, 2002 More Best of the Rest Here are some worthwhile niche sites that look at ADRs and technical analysis Reviewed by KATHY YAKAL Edited by Randall W. Forsyth "....ADR.com (www.adr.com), hosted by JP Morgan, is still our favorite place to get the skinny on American depositary receipts. The site has been overhauled and is easier to navigate than it was the last time we reviewed it -- and it's still free. An in-depth market overview provides current data by region, country, or sector, breaking out significant movers. You can also grab market news and view institutional ownership. And you can search the site's extensive database to see profiles of specific ADRs. Limited editorial content is available, including educational pages and JP Morgan white papers, commentary from Thomson Financial, and the S&P ADR Index. Account services for traders are available, too, allowing online purchases, account access and Web-based communications (like proxy voting)....." "......Another strong site for the international investing crowd is Nikkei Net Interactive (www.nni.nikkei.co.jp). Both English and Japanese versions are available. The site is heavy on news, taken from several Nikkei financial publications, updated 24 hours a day. News is not limited to the Japanese market; coverage is provided for other Asian regions. Editorials are sprinkled throughout the news stories, but not in great number. Data are in good supply, between the site's economic indicators and forecasts, but tools are limited. You can create a simple portfolio and link to a security's quotes, price and volume charts (customizable only by period), financials, key ratios, analyst estimates, and corporate profiles/news. Charts are available elsewhere, in the Stock Trends feature: You can select one of five performance patterns and get a list of securities (out of the site's database of 3,300) that most closely match it. There's a two-week free trial; it's roughly $50 every six months thereafter....." "....Nikkei Net Interactive (www.nni.nikkei.co.jp) offers comprehensive coverage of Asia with news, data and editorials in English and Japanese...." "....News about technology can be found at TechWeb (www.techweb.com), a site that scored well in our tech-news category. Timely information and features are pulled together here from CMP's network of technology publications, including TechWeb itself, InformationWeek, InternetWeek, and Network Computing. Multi-source special reports cover hot topics in tremendous depth, like the recent mega-story on the Microsoft ruling, titled, "Microsoft Parties While Rivals Sulk." Breaking news appears up front, while additional new and older stories are divided into categories, including Mobile, Software, E-Business, and Networking. The financial technology section pulls content from outlets such as Wall Street & Technology and Bank Systems & Technology......" "......Lycos Finance (finance.lycos.com) scored well as a financial portal, thanks in part to its absorption of strong brands like Raging Bull and Quote.com. Its newest addition, launched last month, is an enhanced tool LiveCharts Plus. For $19.95 a month, this one-screen browser page displays both a bare-bones portfolio tracker (with links to message boards) and a very nice charting tool. This is delayed data, but a minimal exchange fee will upgrade you to real-time updates. Charts can be customized to display several styles and sizes (with a handful of technical studies), and you can add your own lines and export the charts. One window alternates between Time & Sales and detailed quotes, while another posts "hotlists" of stocks on the move....."
