Read the rule or the case beside it

Federal Register rules, enforcement releases and federal court opinions sit in the same search as the filings that mention them.

Questions to start with

“Which filings mention this investigation, oldest first?” Search, sorted by date
“Which insiders sold shares in the past six months, and under a plan?” Ownership, from Form 4
“What did the company drop from its risk factors this year?” Changes

Good to know

Is it a news feed?

No. It reads filings and agency sources on a schedule and carries no wire news.

How do I cite what I find?

Each citation names the document, its date and its source. A filing or release opens as published; a register record we compose from agency data links to the agency’s own page.

How far back does it go?

It follows what companies listed in the US file with the SEC, and only a small part outside the US. For the largest companies the archive reaches back many years; for the others older filings are still being added.
