760.0. "INTERNET SOURCES- WHAT IS AVAILABLE?" by 56517::BERSON () Wed Aug 17 1994 21:36

  My understanding is that 10K or 10Q reports, which are filed with the SEC are 
of much more value to an investor, than the quarterly reports sent to shareholders.  
I assume that I could contact any public company and request one, but I am 
wondering whether such reports are available on the Internet.  Would there be any
other sources, such as a Government BBS or even an on-line service?


Thanks,

Bob

    Hi Bob,
    
    	My wife subscribed to the WSJ Personal Business monthly magazine
    (we've just started getting it and, to be honest, I'm not sure of the
    exact name of the magazine but it's close to what I wrote) and in
    the latest issue (SEPT '94) there's an article on the Internet and
    the various sources available for investment information.

    RE:.2. Thanks. I went home that night and saw that it was Smart Money.
    The banner above the title says "The WSJ magazine for personal
    business" which is what I'd remembered.

On the World-Wide Web go to

	http://www.secapl.com/cgi-bin/qsx

and request the stock quotation for a company.  On the resulting page
you'll be offered the chance to click and get its latest 10K.

    get LYNX from one of our software people.  This is the terminal
    interface to the WWW.  Mosiac is the Windows interface.
760.7NRSTA2::SCRATCH:[MOSAIC]CWBNGA::VONEHRENDaniel Von EhrenSat Oct 08 1994 18:2310
    These are latest kits that I know about. There are MOSAIC executables
    for UNIX, Windows, VMS, etc.

    This is a fairly complicated piece of software to install, though very
    easy to operate once it is up.  If you're not a system manager type,
    you're going to have to get some help.

    There's a nice, approachable paper at:

    Yeah, I noticed yesterday when I was cleaning up that this place seems
    to have disappeared.  Since I brought it up, I've put the paper in the
    default directory on my workstation.

	DIR CWBNGA::MOSAIC-CLIENT-SETUP.PS

    ought to workl.

    By the way, I'm not the author of this paper, nor am I associated with
    THE TEP program that produced it.  This paper may disappear at anytime
    from my node.

760.11Full Downloads ?BLAKFT::HOLMESTue Oct 11 1994 16:1014

    There are a number of free services on Compuserve where
    you can do an online lookup by company.  

    Before I continue my own exploration.....

    I'd like to be able to download data. 
    The closing prices of everything is my goal.
    Rather tim intensive one stock at a time.

    Then if I could download those reports listed previously,
    merge it all togeather and create a report by P/E, etc.

760.12BLAKFT::HOLMESTue Oct 11 1994 16:2110
    I found note 73.*...

    Anything else out there.

    I'm more interested in downloading raw data (from 1 or more sources)
    & writing my own application than purchasing it all.

    Thanks,

    For $9.95/month charged to your credit card, quote.com will let you
    ftp closing prices on a dialy basis. Here's an extract from their
    basic subscription blurb:
    
     "On our ftp server, we keep files with end-of-day updates for all ticker
      symbols. You may download the files for the U.S. exchanges at no
      additional charge. In this way you can get updates on over 20,000
      domestic symbols. They are ASCII, comma-delimited files which can be
      imported into most charting programs.
