Argus Research is an independent investment research company providing objective investment and economic analysis, interpretation, and advice via the Argus Website, direct telephone consultation with analysts and daily email updates.

Our staff of analysts, economists and portfolio strategists:

• Forecast and monitor economic trends.
• Analyze 60 industries.
• Issue equity recommendations on a targeted universe of 350 leading companies.

Founded in 1934, Argus Research began as an independent research organization. Through the years Argus has maintained its focus -- independent investment research. Argus does not have an investment banking or corporate finance division, or a brokerage subsidiary.

Argus follows a fundamental, top-down approach for evaluating a security. It examines:

• Economic Forecasts
• Interest Rate Outlook
• Asset Allocation
• Industry Analysis

Argus Research does not manage money, bring companies public, broker trades or make markets in stocks. Our independence allows us to make critical judgments about companies that we might not be so free to make were we competing for a firm's underwriting business. Because we're not a broker/dealer, we don't have an "inventory" of stocks that we have to move with a tainted recommendation. And because we don't manage money, there's no risk that our recommendations are merely self-serving.

Argus has developed a six-point system for analyzing stocks over the 67 years we have been in business. This system, combined with our independence, is the reason we outperform the broad market averages.
