What is the Merriam Report?
- The two-page MR provides in-depth and often predictive financial statement analysis on
most publicly traded companies (income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement).
How do investors benefit from your research?
- The MR gives investors highly sophisticated cash-flow and quality-of-earnings analysis in an
easy-to-use format. Our innovative research saves hours in research time and offers
valuable clues to the integrity of reported earnings.
What’s so different about the MR from other financial research?
- Our innovative model is based on an unconventional method known as “dual cash-flow”
analysis. When combined with our unique accrual and capital productivity screen, the MR
has shown to be remarkably accurate and predictive in identifying potentially undervalued
and/or overvalued securities...months before traditional analysis does.
Can the MR be used to analyze stocks and bonds?
- Yes. The MR is very effective in evaluating almost any class of security, except banks,
insurance and other differently capitalized companies.
Do your reports include investment advice (buy, sell, hold)?
- Each report includes an “Investment Opinion”, based on the author’s interpretation of data
presented and provided for informational uses only. Please read product use & limitation for
more details.
Can your research be used to find short-selling ideas?
- The MR is equally effective in identifying “red-flags” as it is in uncovering companies with
upside potential that may have been overlooked by investors.
How do I obtain your research?
- All MR products are available via our secure website using the safe and convenient PayPal
network.
How much does the MR cost?
- We offer a variety of inexpensive options to meet your research needs. Individual reports
start at $25 and package reports are as low as $18 per report depending on the unit volume
ordered.
What is the Merriam Report Quarterly Newsletter?
- Published 4 times a year, each issue brings you our MR analysis on companies within an
industry, peer group or market niche.
Do you invest in your own ideas?
- Sometimes. Please read our investment policy disclosure for more information.
What other services are available to investors?
- MIS also engages in project-specific due diligence, forensic accounting and related financial
research services to institutions, attorneys, private equity firms and journalists.
