Update on Hoover's

I wanted to follow-up on Diane's post about some new features in Hoover's. I have been showing the BUS1000 classes the Hoover's Stock Chart that you will find in the "Financials" area of each company page. It's an easy to use alternative to Reuters or Factiva. You can compare prices for up to four companies or graph a company against the Dow Jones or S&P 500 stock index.

A new feature is "CEOs on Camera" a collection of video interviews from CNBC. (This link goes to the CEOs on Camera directory). Other CNBC video interviews are in Analyst Watch. These are interviews with business leaders and Wall Street analysts. If you use the "Browse Industries" link from the home page, you can access these reports by industry sector.

With Hoover's SEC Filings you have the option to retrieve and print pages or segments of the reports as well as the full document. Unfortunately they must use an automatic parser because parts of the 10K are not labeled in any standard way and some segments are only identified out by page number.
