Market Depth

Coming Out of the Depths - TickerMine Begins

Hi everyone,

This is the beginning of our corporate blog for TickerMine. What’s TickerMine? good question. We get that one alot. TickerMine is a subscription service that offers daily reports on point of sale data for a broad range of U.S. companies.

What is Point of Sale (POS) data? Another good question. Sometime POS refers to actual sales results at stores. This data is the property of the companies that collect it and not generally available. What we collect is feedback from the employees of these companies. We provide very specific detail on how business is on the restaurant floor, at the department store on the auto lot and at the local bank.

We are always increasing our coverage of companies (currently at 205) and once we begin coverage you can expect to see that company covered with the same survey every month. This will provide everyone with not only excellent current point of sale data but nice historical data to compare against.

We primarily cover publicly traded U.S. companies but do include some private companies and some foreign companies that are not traded in the U.S. to provide good indusry coverage. As an example we cover Alltel and Mitsubishi and Suzuki.

Finally, why “Market Depth” as the title of the blog? Well TickerMine is a reflection of our view that we are mining the real world for valuable nuggets of information that can be of great use to everyone. We truly view ourselves as a raw material provider to the information economy. Market Depth tries to convey the sense that we’re deep underground and just now bringing our materials to the surface.

This blog will focus alot on the data we produce at www.tickermine.com and highlight interesting trends we are seeing and believe others might also find interesting. I will also keep you posted on our progress as a company and a business in the coming weeks and months.
