Extractions: Researching a Stock on the Net Dateline: 11/09/98 This page is a step by step guide to researching a Canadian stock on the Internet. We'll use it to try and find the information needed to fill in the Value Investor's Worksheet we published here two weeks ago. But before we jump in, let me tell you about a new regular feature at Investing (Canada) - The Pundit Report . It will be listed every week on the Main Page right under the link to the newest feature article. The report contains a random sampling of commentary from various analysts and writers on the net - either from emailed newsletters or from information on selected websites and will be updated regularly with fresh analyses. Take a gander and let me know what you think. Researching a stock used to take a lot of leg work. Unless someone had a lot of time to devote to it, one used to have to rely on one's broker for such information. But with the Internet it is easier and faster and it is creating a whole new breed of investor - the investor who relies less on his broker for information and more on his own resources. But there are pitfalls in the process. There is a lot of misinformation and even disinformation out there. Even cases of out and out fraud. Note the recent crackdown on con artists by the

Crime writers can find resources online including forensic websites, police websites, governmental resources and crime sites covering different types of criminal activity.

Extractions: The most common form of writing is the essay, and knowing how to write one effectively is a fundamental skill for writers of all ages. The essay is not only used for academic papers. Feature articles, business reports and even "letters to the editor" follow the same pattern: introduction, body, conclusion. Unfortunately, few are taught the essay format thoroughly in high school, and when students enter university they may be writing them for the first time. Never fear! Essay writing may seem an insurmountable obstacle, but once you learn the "tricks of the trade," writing them becomes easier, even enjoyable. The method used is almost identical for freelancers, so if you are an aspiring writer, learning the essay format can put you ahead of the competition.
Extractions: DISCOVERING PRESENT DAY "COUSINS" An enjoyable aspect of researching and writing about your family history consists of finding present day "cousins," descendants of your ancestors. As I've delved into my various family lines, I've made the acquaintance of descendants of great aunts and uncles. What fun to correspond with them and even meet them in person. This enlarges the picture we may have of an ancestor and gives us more family members to share with. Leaving a Trail Whenever I've researched and corresponded with historical societies, libraries, and genealogical societies, I've included information about contacting me. This might include name, address, phone number and e-mail. I've also traced "cousins" who did this, too. When researching my Great Uncle William (Buffalo Bill) Mathewson who settled in Kansas Territory in the mid-1800s after growing up in New York State, I kept running across the name a name of another researcher. But when I wrote to her known addresses, I was always too late because she had moved. Eventually a librarian at a historical society looked up people with her same surname in the phone directory and sent me their addresses. I wrote to all three and found one was her mother-in-law! What fun finally to get in contact with this the researcher, hare information and develop a friendship.
