Preamble
The internet is an essential resource, both for research and teaching.
The internet also changes over time and links on this page may go stale.
In the past few years there have been numerous important links appear,
such as those for different professors. This is in addition to the
numerous sites which have been established for some time, such as those
for the government agencies like the CFTC, SEC and Board of Governors.
The various futures exchanges have also greatly increased on line
presence.
All this leaves the web site developer with a difficult
task of organizing the various sites in some fashion and in keeping up with stale links. The decision
here was to use functionality to classify sites.
A conscious attempt has been made to avoid sites which require payments,
have an elaborate subscriber format and the like. Freedom to
navigate has been a guide.
However, it can happen that a once free site become a subscriber/pay site and
these sites do appear.
(Thanks to all those responsible
for providing some useful links.)
For those coming from pages using frames and wanting a full page (w/o the split screen), change

The sites in the following list typically have much more detail on either specific
topics or general applications.
While websites for publicly traded companies do have key filings, the definitive sites for filings with the OSC and SEC are
SEDAR (OSC) and
EDGAR (SEC)
Zacks This is something of
a source site which is linked to by many other stock research
pages ... a must look.
Globe and Mail site
Go to the business part. An all round great site.

Demotech, Inc. Specializes
in rating insurance companies and HMO's.
A.M. Best Another rating agency
for insurance companies.
The Dow Jones Site
The ratings agency sites are not as useful as intuition might suggest.

these sites less friendly. Here are a few which could be examined:
Quicken
see also Quicken investment help
Barchart A good site for
inexpensive data.
Investors Intelligence
Sites for Charting and Technical Analysis
Sites for charting and technical analysis come and go, small sites
get taken over or fail, larger sites change URLs or switch to a pay
format. Don't be surprised if some of these links are stale.
BigChart This is a charting
site, not a subscribe site but has been put here because it is
not as broad as some of the sites above.
BarCharts A traditional favourite.
Stock Chart
Really nice looking charts.
Trade10.com This is an
excellent charting service that has lots of supplementary
information about technical analysis. Site has moved or failed, this link is no longer active.

See also the Yahoo2 link
in the General sites.
Clearstation
Possibly the best site for technical indicators for equities.
This site has been taken over by e*trade and now requires an e*trade account.
A site which is unclearly titled and has an odd history is
Turtle trader.com This site has nothing to do with the turtle
spread trade. For this group, a turtle is a follower of a trend
trader known as Richard Dennis.
Turtle trading sites have a considerable following and have spawned various
interesting websites such as
originalturtles.org
concerned with the history, description and the like for Dennis
turtles.
Some Related and Useful Sites for Security Analysis Research

Edgar is excellent for getting SEC filing information.
