Sources of Investment Research

IntelligentInvestor said: "I was just wondering which sources you use for your investment research?? Like which websites have company ratios, detailed financial statements (income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement)... The cheaper they are they better, and if they're free, than that's obviously awesome.. Where are there good stock screeners on the net?? Do you subsribe to any business magazines, periodicals or newsletters?? Are they useful and worth every penny?? Currently, I use MSN Money, and Yahoo Finance.. When I go to the library, I know they have ValueLine which is pretty damn good as well.. Detailed history of quite a few statistics... THanks for the recommendations in advance...."

Although any source of information is great, you don't NEED to spend any $ to be a good investor in my opinion. The most valuable information by far are the annual reports and financial statements you get for free."
