Investment Research and Analysis

Crucial to the process of building a portfolio is the research and analysis of prospective investments. The proliferation of data on the Internet has made this much easier for individual investors, and those who have online brokerage accounts typically have access to fundamental data and news services. Indeed, securities analysis is so popular in the information age that it in itself can be considered an industry. There are numerous research firms around the world that provide both fundamental and technical analysis to both institutions and individuals. Additionally, software programs are now available rather inexpensively to anyone with a personal computer. Below are links to information about investment research and analysis.
