This week you will explore the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) website, known as EDGAR. The EDGAR database provides free public access to corporate information, allowing you to research a public company's financial information and operations by reviewing the filings the company makes with the SEC. In addition, you will find various links to Divisions & Offices, Enforcement, Regulations, Education, and News.

Your task it to explore the website and find one topic (that has not been chosen earlier by your peers) and describe it at length and how it can be used. Be certain to explain how the information you are reporting can be used in trading and/or in your decision making.
