In financial investing, you're only as good as the information you have available to you. Investment research companies provide, compile and disseminate financial information to private individuals and investment groups of all sizes and interests. What an investor knows, and how quickly they know it, will inform them as they make decisions on any number of financial risks, so a successful investment research company will use the best sources to furnish the most current and complete information available to the greatest numbers of decision makers.

Companies like Morningstar and Value Line are industry standards, but there are many others in this ever changing information competition: Motley Fool, Bloomberg, Thomson and MarketWatch are a handful of names in the financial data pushing game. MarketWatch, owned by Dow Jones, is an online database and service that provides stock market information, data feeds and minute by minute headlines to some 7 million readers.
