FYI: You likely have free access to Morningstar and other investment research resources through your local library.


Many universities, companies, and public libraries subscribe to services such as Morningstar, and if you check the respective websites of those institutions, you might find a link that connects to Morningstar via proxy.

Obviously, you should not make investment decisions solely based on a Morningstar analyst report, but I find that they are useful and concise write-ups about what the business does, how they compare to competitors across several metrics, what the history of valuation metrics has been, etc.

As a side note, you can also check if you get free access to Bloomberg, Economist, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal. You can also bypass the paywalls with a Firefox extension like “Bypass Paywalls Clean” which I can confirm works great (this is not an admission of guilt, as I did not state that I use it).

I'm sure this has been posted before, but I thought I'd highlight in case anyone is paying for the service when they can obtain it free.
