Mergent Online

This database contains company data, not articles.  For example, you can find financial data, annual reports, a list of company executives, stock prices, etc.  It contains information on both publicly-traded and private companies, as well as data on "extinct" companies due to mergers, acquisitions, and bankruptcy.  Need help searching Mergent Online?
