Another private eye who works for free

Well, "internet free," anyway.

This is more or less a follow-on to yesterday. If you're looking to scope out a potential customer/employer/competitor and the company is publicly traded, you can consider your tax dollars well spent in the SEC's second-generation "Oscar" tool. The link for viewing "Insider Transactions" is particularly useful as a "Who's Who" for both inside the company as well as who's pulling the strings from the outside.

Anyhoo, the base link for searches is here: http://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html. Booyah for transparency.
