1. Read the back 20-30 pages of Forbes (the smaller articles) and technology related magazines like "Discover", "Scientific American" even "Popular Science" occasionally coughs up a jewel.

READ EXTENSIVELY to find the original leads. FOLLOW THEM.

My wife found out about a medical company from an article in Discover. We heavily researched the company and the technology they were working on (mostly on-line). The company was recently bought out for more than a 100% profit.

Do a lot of web research, follow technology links, find out about related and competing technologies and make you investment decisions ONLY after you feel the company has what investors call a "COMPELLING STORY"

You can call investor relations for information but remember the stuff they send is like a big commercial. Follow all the links including the ones about competing companies and the "risks".
