From an SEC press release: "The Securities and Exchange Commission today launched its first-ever Web site devoted exclusively to investor education, providing investors with in-depth information and 'top tips' on how to invest wisely, plan for the future, and avoid being scammed.

By visiting www.investor.gov, investors can access information in a user-friendly format that is specifically tailored to their needs. The site includes sections specifically for those just getting started investing, for those saving for a child's education, and for those planning for retirement. It also has a detailed 'Seniors Care Package' section for senior citizens and caretakers."

An important note from the "How do I get information about companies?" section -- visit your library to use reference books and commercial databases. UHD Library has a whole section of its Web site devoted to company information. And while most of the resources are restricted to current UHD students, faculty, and staff, there are also some recommended Web sites.
