Reply #24: SEC Filings search link.

[conscious evolution]

Here is a link to the Securities and Exchange Commissions search engine for Corporate filings.
http://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html

You can use this to find a lot of 9info on publicly traded corps.Things like who owns significant blocks of stock and what companies are owned by the target corporation.
Her are the results for Cerberus: http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=cerberus&CIK=&filenum=&State=&SIC=&owner=include&action=getcompany
The first thing that jumps out at me is the fact that all of their filings are what are called paper generated filings. http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1287483/999999999706032716/9999999997-06-032716.paper
The fact that their filings are not available on the SEC website says to me they are trying to hide stuff.(RegDex is the abbreviation used for when a corp goes IPO.)For a listing and description of the SEC Forms go to this page on the SEC site: http://www.sec.gov/info/edgar/forms/edgform.pdf .Forms 3,4&5 are for people and institutions buying large blocks of stocks.

Form 3 Initial statement of beneficial
ownership of securities
Form 4 Statement of changes in beneficial
ownership of securities
Form 5 Annual statement of changes in
beneficial ownership of securities


I hope this is useful to everyone.
