Readers,

 

Web sites supporting this topic are:

 

< www.egoli.com.au  >   Click on News & Views  ( on the left of page).

 

Resulting page will show the latest Company news and comment. It is being updated throughout the day!

 

A ' must have'  site for investment in Australia !!

< http://stocknessmonster.com  >

 

 

Item " Australian news " will give the AX releases as they come through. The site is more convenient than the AX site, as one can scroll a single page of the day's releases.

 

To obtain any AX release, click on the line with the news: Clicking on the code name will give you trading data, depth of trading, graphs and other data. 

 

Stockness is another valuable "fast and free site"!!

 

Sometimes, the final hours of releases are not listed; in that case, move to < www.tradingroom.com.au >     That site is somewhat cumbersome. The last AX release tends to be between 8 and 9 pm, AE time.

< www.trustnet.com >

 

A very powerful site ! Lists investment and unit trusts, their managers and background, links to the trusts, prices and latest news.

 

They quote 1833 dominant International trusts with up to 5 years performance. A must have site!

<  www.sharechat.co.nz  >  The top toolbar of this Forum and other pages has an item: " Education " . Click on this and on the left are " NZSE Company Links " and " ASX Company Links ". 

 

These links will connect you to the Companies' web sites! A high quality educational feature!

NB: The Home page of ShareChat has links to international newspapers and other sites!

< www.alltheweb.com  >  A very powerful search engine for investors!!! Response time tends to be a fraction of a second !!!

 

There are two boxes to refer to: The ' Search For '  box is very sensitive!

I tend to use " All the words " or " The exact words ". The latter requires an exact entry: often the word " Limited " or " Ltd "

are left out on web sites. If it is part of the company's registration, then - most of the time -  it needs to be entered!

Summary: Obviously, there are other sites. However, the above mentioned sites are of high quality, are " fast ", free, and are quickly updated!  Registration is not needed and one does not get unwanted email!

 

They will be included In the " Books and Web sites " edition. ( I already have a list of titles from contributors ). 

 

There are up to two pages left to write under the current topic. The resulting five installments are continuous and should be read as such!
