Question
Hello:

I'm not sure if you can help me with this issue but I will try anyway.  I was wondering if you know of any free websites that offer information on a company's earnings, profits, losses etc.  I have found a number of these sites but they cost $100 or more to join.  There must be some free sites out there.  I am not looking for detailed info, just some basic information.

Thanks,

Paul


Answer
Paul,

I'm not sure I fully understand your question... or what your end goal is but two things come to mind.

1)  A number of internet portals offer this information.  here is link to a yahoo page showing Microsoft info... http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=MSFT&d=t  You can scroll around and see analysts opinions, earnins reports, etc.  Also, here ia  Yahoo stock research site... http://biz.yahoo.com/r/

2) if you have abrokerage account with an on-line broker they usually offer free research tools.

Hope this helps.
