CIRR DATABASE
A tool for corporate research
For more info, contact: Kerry Dressler through EnviroNet mail
CIRR actually stands for the Company and Industrial
Research Reports Datebase. Not all Libraries will have this
available on computer, but if you have a Universtiy nearby, you
might try there. It is usually updated monthly, and searches can
be made by company name, or type of business. These reports are
usually done by large stock brockerage houses for their clients,
but there are also several trade journals that are abstracted.
Most of the files are available on Microfiche, which can then be
xeroxed using a viewer. Companies that I've checked on have all
been ones traded on stock exchanges. This is a service for the
College of Business Administration at the University near me.
Large brockerage firms would probably have access to the system,
also.
I ran Waste Management, Inc. through the system and the
file was 156 pages long! It traces all the earnings, quarterly,
large contracts, mergers, intereactions with other firms, and a
variety of esoteric - business oriented information. There are
several firms that write these reports excerpting trade journals
and tracing rumors. They discussed the effect new EPA
regulations would have on the company's earnings, as well as any
legal problems they were having. Market managers make their
decisions on whether to buy or sell stocks by the accuracy of
these reports. Reports were dated from January 1990 back to
January 1982. Other back files are available.
Another, more available computer database is called
Infotrak. It has a vast number of subjects available, but rather
than giving you an abstract, or having microfiche available , it
only lists the periodicals that a particular subject may be found
in. You then have to hope your library carries that particular
periodical. A large number of trade journals has been added to
the database and it is updated monthly.
Both databases are fairly easy to access and have "print"
features if a printer is on line. CIRR can also be downloaded by
subject to diskette.
