I'm back - time for Value Line - very overwhelming but here goes. I really like the "Description" - impressive, great point to direct people to first. The various reports offered contain a lot of information: "Ratings and Reports" list company, ticker, industry and timeliness with options to view information in PDF or HTML form (good options) ; "Selection and Opinion" provides economic and stock market commentary, recent developments and stock selection (ex Co Star group) ; and Summary and Index provide broad information - analysis of industries and index to stocks. Lots to take in, really need more time to explore. I picked Starbucks to research. I searched for it within the Lookup Company feature under investment surevey which resulted in 1 result of a pdf file on Starbuck Corp report date 8/31/2012. Confused about the various tabs at the top of the report and where is "full research report." I seem to be lost??? Need to move on down the street to Wall Street Journal.
In Wall Street Journal in searching for health care and small business, I decided to also use as well full text and date limits of "last 12 months" to be as pertinent as possible. My search resulted in 1756, which surprised me, didn't think there would be so many hits. I did notice some of the hits don't necessarily relate health care to small business, just those terms are in the article (ex. The Readers Weigh In
Anonymous.
Wall Street Journal [New York, N.Y] 12 Nov 2012: R.2.). The "Suggested subjects" is a valuable feature - very useful to anyone struggling with just the right word combinations, or to get a person closer to what information they really want. As in other databases we've explored I'm impressed with the create alert and email options. Create alert could be very helpful to be notified of any new articles on health care and small business.
The Business databases are informative resources, but I need to get a better handle on them - definitely more hands-on searching.....but for now
I must bid goodbye to the Business Databases! Time for our next adventure in the land of "Health".

So many "resources", so little time!
