HOW TO LOCATE CERTAIN MISTAKES IN CORPORATE SEC FILINGS
by Michael Ravnitzky , mikerav@mindspring.com
Corporate SEC filings frequently contain a shorthand signal or admission
that there was an error in the previous edition corporate document.
This signal is usually one of the following words:
inadvertent
inadvertently
or the misspelled versions
inadvertant (sic)
inadvertantly (sic)
By searching in any major compilation of SEC filings, such as Lexis or
Westlaw SEC filings database, or in 10K Wizard or Edgar or LiveEdgar, you
can locate examples of this phenomenon.
Certain companies exhibit regular and frequent examples of this signal;
others show it only infrequently.
