Agreed. Calling the company is only good for hard data. Fortunately, for most legitimate companies this information is readily available. The danger comes when you ask IR for opinions. That is the equivalent of asking a politicians press agent for an opinion. You are going to get spun. Even the most well intentioned IR is going to put the best face on things. If you feel a need to call people. Try calling a customer or supplier.

TOC, can you suggest any approaches for IPO's or mergers or companies that change their fundamental business ('new web strategy'). As a recent SI member I notice that folks appear to be dipping into the same well for information, then it gets bounced around a lot. While I agree IR is a good start, what about suppliers,customers,etc...? Thanks ynot :)

Great thread. On the heels of Dow 10,000 sentiment is high and people are walking around with stars in their eyes dreaming of the next big score. Penny markets are moving again north and south of the border, with promotional emails being blasted out faster than people can shout buy! Please permit me to post a link to an article that I wrote on penny and BB dogs and what to do with them, if anyone feels the urge to speculate. intelligentspeculator.com Good luck all. This is the summary of what I learn after working in brokerage firms and trading pig dogs for 13 years before I gave up on them and took up trading S&P futures.
