 I mean, we have sites like Hoovers and a whole bunch of other services pulling together these reports from EDGAR already. Aren't they in XBRL format as well already? What would be the point of your script? Just to compile the information again? or do you mean trying to eliminate the role of Analysts that put out Analyst reports on public company stock? I'm sure a human analyst is able to put out a more reliable analyst report and a better recommendation.

I'm looking mostly at EDGAR (the SEC system that contains a private public companies filings) and how it can be mined.

If you're somehow able to get a private company's financial information from EDGAR call up Bill Gates and tell him he's back out of the number one richest spot, because you, Hummer Driving human being, will be the new number one.
