Although we generally don’t rely on Bay Street brokerage analysts, we do track some independent investment analysts or their businesses. We mention some of our favourites in Appendix A.

Doing Your Own Research

You don’t need to spend an excessive amount of time or money, but you should maintain your own library of resources. You may need only one shelf (or a small amount of memory on your computer’s hard drive), but why not have a few investment facts and resources at your fingertips? We maintain our own libraries loaded with books, magazines, newsletters, and tons of great stuff downloaded on our computers for easy search and reference. After you start your own collection, follow these tips:

Keep some select newspapers.Barron’s, The Wall Street Journal, National Post, The Globe and Mail, and Investor’s Business Daily regularly have editions worth keeping. For example, The Globe and Mail and The Wall Street Journal usually publish a year-in-review issue in January. Barron’s has special issues reviewing brokers and financial websites.

Subscribe to financial magazines. Publications such as Canadian MoneySaver magazine and MoneySense offer great research and advice, and regularly review stocks and provide resources for investors. Their websites are information-rich as well.

Keep annual reports. Regarding the stocks that are the core holdings in your portfolio, keep all the annual reports (or at the very least, the most recent three).

Go to the library’s business reference section periodically to stay updated. Hey, you pay the taxes that maintain the public library — you may as well use it to stay informed.

Use the Internet for research. The web offers plenty of great sites to peruse; we list some of the best in Appendix A.
