EDGAR: an acronym for
Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system, is the
database established by the
Securities and Exchange Commission for the receipt,
archiving, and
dissemination of public filings by American businesses. Companies submit their info to the
SEC via EDGAR, and the info is available to the
public. A useful tool for gathering info on corporations whether you're a
shareholder, a potential
investor, a
competitor, a
consumer, or an
employee who wants to know how much compensation the
CEO is getting.
