Problems with Investext

Investext will only work using Internet Explorer. When you try to open any of the historical SEC documents, you may get the "pop up blocker" message at the top of the screen. To open the file, you have to click the message a the top of the screen that says "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer blocked this site..." etc.

Right click on that message, and you will see the option to open the file.

Then the file should open in Excel. If it does not open the first time, you should be able to click on the link for the document again and it will open. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Investext Reports

e-mail from Gene:
Corey Seeman, the Director of the Kresge Business Administration Library at the University of Michigan recently sent this email regarding Investext reports. We subscribe to Investext through Thomson Research, but it is listed on our webpages under "Investext." This may be helpful for figuring out how to navigate, so I wanted to share it with you all.

Investext Analyst Reports - Thomson Research
• Research Reports will appear on the upper right hand side of the data for the companies that you are searching. It also shows up on the first page. Click on that link to conduct a search.
• If you have pulled up a company record, Thomson Research will show the most recent reports for that company. You can also pull up three different groups of reports:
o Click Morning Meeting Notes to view the collection that contains "timely information on companies and industries from analysts at some of the world's leading investment banks."
o Click Investext Research Reports to view the collection of Investext reports "authored by top analysts from over 800 brokerage houses, investment banks, and consulting firms worldwide."
o Click Complete Reports List to view both of these reports together.
• Viewing Reports

FAX Services

We're getting lots of requests for a fax machine this year. The Ink Spot in the UMC is the only place on campus where students can fax materials. I don't know the cost. The closest place off-campus that I know of is Kinko's in the Basemar Center on Baseline across the street from the Law School.
