NASDAQ Stock Market
The site provides a wide variety of information on the statistics, activities and workings of the NASDAQ itself. Provides comprehensive single or multiple quotes for all stocks on the NASDAQ, AMEX or NYSE. Contrary to what you might expect, the site provides no information on the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board stocks. Their InfoQuotes provide price charts, company information, news, SEC filings, web site links, and other information on individual companies. The site is a significant source of investment information but is not as comprehensive as it might appear at first glance as many info links come up empty.

NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board

They provide limited and spotty information on individual companies traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. Company information is limited to stocks that were trading on the Bulletin Board at the end of the previous year. The company information, if any, consists of company contact information and a summary of the previous year's trading activity.

Pink Sheets Website
The Pink Sheets Website of Pink Sheets LLC provides pricing and financial information for the over-the-counter (OTC) securities markets. They provide a well presented and amazingly comprehensive array of quotes and a reasonable amount of information on stocks trading on the Pink Sheets, OTCBB, and Other OTC markets. Overall, the site provides amazing good and up-to-date information on an array of stocks that is very difficult to keep up with. Pink Sheets LLC is a privately owned company headquartered in New York City.

SEC EDGAR System
All major U.S. public companies are required to file a variety of quarterly, annual, and special reports with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC). The companies make these filings via the SEC's Electronic Data, Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system which is available to investor online courtesy of the SEC. The SEC's EDGAR system provides a very valuable (but very detailed) comprehensive source of information for investors. Unfortunately, information on an individual company is quite difficult to locate without extensive experience with the system. We definitely recommend using the SEC links we provide from our ticker search when looking for the SEC filings of an individual company.

The above websites are the sources for credit ratings on the Internet.

We also have no worthwhile suggestions on how to obtain credit ratings from the above websites or from any other source.
