File Description [top]

DIALOG Investment Research Index provides an index to some of the most important investment research documents available today. Written by expert analysts, these reports represent primary research on industries and companies in the U.S. and abroad and are critical tools in individual and corporate planning and decision making.

Investment research reports are typically distributed initially only to brokerage customers/subscribers. They are embargoed from public release for several weeks. As soon as these reports become publicly available, the citation is placed in File 514. Once the report appears in the file, the document can be ordered from Zacks Investment Research, Inc.

The full reports indexed in File 514 can be ordered directly from Zacks's Web site at:
