Up late? Can't sleep? This site
provides literally hundreds of strings of economic data to help you nod off.

years. |

SEC Filings & Forms (EDGAR) |
The US Equivalent of SEDAR, where
you can go to find text copies of SEC filings (10K's, 10Q's, etc) for any
company register or trading in the US. Its text only limitation means the
filings are smaller files but sometimes less useful. For actual copies of Annual
reports and the like for interlisted US/Canadian companies SEDAR is probably the
better choice though the new html formatted versions of documents on EDGAR are
definitely more readable.. |

What they did for precious metals
they've done for base metals. About the only place you'll find live base metal
quotes and charts for copper, lead, zinc and aluminum. |

of other free services. |

The London Metal Exchange is the
longest running market and for most metals futures contracts and the price
setter most of the time. Price information is delayed for non-members but it's
still one of the best places to get simple clean metal price charts for the
contracts they trade. This is also the place to go if you want to keep
track of forward prices. You can quickly generate tables or graphs of
forward prices based of current trading of each contract. |

Intended more for physical metals
traders than commodity buffs this is still a useful site. They collect a
wide variety of news on minor and specialty metals that is hard to find unless
you subscribe to a number of pricey private sites. You can add yourself to
the list for email alerts on metals stories of your choice as well. |

All Canadian listed companies -
both public companies and mutual funds - must submit copies of all filings to SEDAR. This includes news releases, financials, shareholder meeting circulars
and in many cases, technical reports and prospectuses. Requires a PDF reader but
it's the best all around source for background data on Canadian companies. |
| |
|
|
 |
Probably the best free chart site
around. Though the charts are limited to three years you can do comparisons and
can overlay up to four technical indicators chosen from a broad list of
favorites. |

Stockwatch is one of the most
useful sites for followers of stocks listed in Canada because it is a "primary
distribution" site, which means everyone has to submit a copy of their news
releases to them. It's not a free site, but visitors can get 15 minute delayed
quotes, charts and access to the most recent news release for any company listed
in Canada. |

Canada's mining magazine that
sets the standard for objective reporting on a number of exploration plays each
week. Although the Miner is a paid subscription site it's well worth a visit for
the free articles alone as well as for the capsule descriptions of mineral
deposit types and the very extensive Mining Dictionary. |
