I try to search information for investing in stocks around the world but I can’t find any website provide required information such as financial statement highlight or fundamental ratio.
I have some requirements for investing such as industry sectors , P/E P/BV ratio , so could anyone recommend me the website that I can screen easily.
Thank you
I do not know of any but since your broker allows you to trade stocks around the world ask them if they have any screening tools for those stocks.
US stocks have certain reporting requirements by the SEC in order to be listed on US stock exchanges. Any fraud will be prosecuted as shown by Enron and Worldcom in the past.
Most international stocks do not have the same requirements and do not adhere to SEC requirements and thus are not listed on US stock exchanges. Some international stocks that adhere to SEC requirements are listed as ADRs (American Depository Receipts).
When you are looking for a penny share, the pink sheet and over-the-counter are the two primary places to look. In the past, there has been one overwhelming problem with trading in this area and that is that the companies involved were largely unregulated. You may have been buying shares in a shell company, or one that did not really exist, but was well-hyped. Especially in this internet age, there are many companies out there that do not really exist, yet people trade their shares. This is a dangerous game.
So, when you are looking at pink sheets stocks, you need the proper guidance to make sure that the companies you are looking at are legitimate and have a true reason for making such a dramatic move to the upside. Pharmaceutical companies, energy companies, and internet companies are well known to move very quickly and dramatically from penny stocks to large cap – almost overnight. And, if you are on for the ride early in the game, you will make more money in this sector of your investment portfolio than in any other area. A good way to accomplish this is by subscribing to a good penny stocks recommendations service.
