Annual Reports & S.E.C. Documents

Annual reports are issued by publicly traded companies, but are not required by the S.E.C. (Securities and Exchange Commission). The official "annual financial statements" are located in what is known as Form 10-K which does not contain the glossy pictures and graphs that the Annual Report does. Many times if you look at the corporate website, the Investor Relations department has put the annual report and other documents up for your perusal.

D.R.I.P.S.-Dividend Reinvestment Plans

DRIP's are a way to buy small quantities of stock (as little as one share) through a variety of methods. Investors can then buy additional shares each month or quarter without going through a broker thus saving commission fees.
