Researching Overseas Markets
How do you all research overseas markets such as US, UK, Japan, etc.
I have no problem researching NZ and AUS companies as they are all on ASB Securities. But is there free websites where it has info on all the financials of the business that I can check through quickly and easily.
I've been using Guru Focus for US stocks and Morningstar for UK stocks but there are so many advertisements and pop ups and new windows to open it makes the process very long winded.
Also, do any of you subscribe to overseas investment research or hold accounts with overseas brokers?

ENP do you know the old saying you can be a jack of all trades but a master of none. Surely two markets is enough to try & study?

I've taken the last 8 months and looked through every company on the ASX.
I individually searched and looked up their summary page showing the last 10 years of financial info for all 2000+ stocks on ASB Securities. I then got my favourite 100 or so and looked up their latest annual report and simplified this down to 20 or so. Then I went ahead and read the last 3 years of annual reports for these. Then simplified it down to 10 to 15 companies. I then researched their industries, competitors, and broker write ups on the companies, their products, services, possible future growth and sustainability. Now I have a watchlist of 9 ASX companies.
There is really not too much more that I can do with regards to the NZX or ASX that will benefit me by finding other companies. So no, I don't think that two markets is enough. I really enjoy researching and uncovering new potential investments.
Do you think Warren Buffett stopped researching potential companies and investments in his mid 20's?

I trade the London Market with Ig Markets
I do my own research.
For research I use:
http://www.investegate.co.uk/
http://www.digitallook.com/
http://www.lse.co.uk/financial-diary.asp
http://uk.advfn.com/
There are some good bloggers as well.

Keep very wide stops on the UK markets. It does not behave like the NZX/ASX.
I choose to trade LSE as there is better value. NZX is priced for perfection. ASX in the middle.
Good luck

Hi ENP,
How do you find Guru Focus?
Would you recommend it?
What do you like about it?
What do you dislike about it?
Why do use them for US stock rather than morning star?

I just use the free option for Guru Focus. I like it because it shows 10 years of financial data for everything I need to look at.
I think it is pretty good. I haven't ever used the paid service so don't know if this would be beneficial and I use it because it is all on the one page and morningstar seems to be on multiple pages I have to flick through to get the data I want.

Some fund managers have edge over others when they deal with frontier markets. They have their own research team in addition to their experience.Please see following link about frontier or pre-emerging" markets.
