Hello Hong,

Welcome to the group!

Until a few days ago, the very best place to get information on direct
competitors was to use the free capsules at Hoovers.com. They recently
modified their site and service offering and have taken the direct
competitor info under wraps. Darn. Their response when I asked about it a
few weeks ago was that they felt they needed to create the most value for
their subscribers so had decided to discontinue making it available to the
general public. Hard to argue with that one.

But...not to fear.... I'm always on the lookout for ways to get this info,
so, happily, I have found another source at Yahoo's newly revamped (still in
beta) finance site. See an example at:

http://beta.finance.yahoo.com/q/co?s=MNTR

You will find many industry listings throughout the web that will list
"industry brethren", but this isn't the same as identifying "direct
competitors" as this does.

Another good source for listings of "similar" businesses is BullSector,
where you can enter a symbol and see companies with similar
products/services:

http://www.bullsector.com/search.html

The all time best place to look is at the company website and/or their SEC
filings. These are always filled with information on competitors, but it
takes quite a bit more digging.

Katherine

Katherine,

    I am newer to the group. and am wondering how do you determine a
given company's direct competitors.    For an example,  RDWR.

   Your comments will be appreciated,
