Were you issued any share certificates? Were you given any form of confirmation of ownership of shares? If not, then you probably didn't purchase any of your company's shares. Option to purchase company shares is never automatic. If you never exercised your rights to do so, then it is gone.\n\n\nhttp://www.mastersoequity.com\n\n\n\n\n.

The financial (stock market) sites can give you a basic description of a lot of firms worldwide.\n\nOn Google finance, just type the name of the company into the search box.\n\nOn Yahoo Finance, you need to look up the stock-ticker code, using the 'Symbol Lookup' link, selecting the Market 'US & Canada' or 'Worldwide'. For example, enter 'General Motors', a list of codes is displayed including GM for General Motors, then click GM to get the details page.\n\nMost large companies have a corporate website. Often it is just www.nameofcompany.com\n\nAlso, you can type 'name-of-company investor relations' into a search-engine, to find the share-holders info section and annual reports that give a lot of detail about the company. Most sites also have an 'about us' link, saying what the company does, what their mission-statement is, what there values are, etc.\n\nWell-known companies, such as Coca-Cola, may have a wikipedia entry.

If it is a public company, they are required to file quarterly financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (www.sec.gov).  Look for your Company and their Form 10-Q or Form 10-K filing.\n\nIf it is a private company, you can not other than by getting a look at the bank statement or asking accounting.  There is no publically available information for a private company's cash account.

I've been looking for years and haven't found one.  Also, I have found that many stocks can be immediately ruled out, unless you know more than me.  Some are traded infrequently, some have no information and some just don't make any sense to me.\n\nWhat I have found is that the question you should be asking is: "If I had a list of all of the stocks, what would I look for?"  That is where a stock screening program comes in.  Yahoo finance has one for free, and you can find a screener at almost any stock related site.  \n\nA screener will go through the list of stocks in that screener and, based on criteria you define, return a set of results.  Your criteria might be (volume > 100000) or (Price > 5) or (price > 52 week high).  For me, this is the best way to locate stocks that I would be interested in.\n\nI hope I interpreted your question correctly.  Good Luck
