Pay Attention to Uncontrolled Information

Publicly traded United States companies are generally financed well enough to have hired professionals to carefully control the flow of information released by the company. These companies may have to release SEC-required information, but getting any other newsworthy information is tough unless the company wants it out. This is where unofficial Internet sources like blogs, forums and bulletin boards can be very helpful. These Internet sites are often popular with employees, ex-employees and stockholders, and can be filled with juicy insider information. It's not always accurate, so verification is key. But tune in regularly and you'll almost always find something worth your attention.
