You can use marketfriendly in a virtual market research analyst mode.
Then with your own market research capability you can increase your presence; build gravitas within the marketplace: The investment community tends to focus on the top stocks, resulting in many small and medium companies falling off the radar screen as far as investors and analysts are concerned. But there is something unique about the organization that generates its own market research: It can bring your company to "top-of-mind".
Market research will enable you to educate and stabilize, and, should the need arise, to counterbalance omission or negativity by analysts. (One industry trade paper has written two articles this year which incorrectly portrayed a stainless steel market development as negative for molybdenum. There is an ongoing controversy in silver about undue influence by consumer-oriented analysts. Other examples exist for various metals.)
Market research can be used in strategic planning and risk management, and to demonstrate enhanced governance and diligence on your part: It says that your interest in the metal itself and understanding of its demand components goes beyond the average.
89% of respondents say that senior managers remain the most important source of information in evaluating a company's stock. Why not take some of the pressure off yourself by upgrading the rest of your company's information (to investor) supply chain?
