okay I know now how to go to www.edgar and look at the 10-Q, I know I want to see that the company has been making a steady profit, but most of it is like trying to read russian, lots of numbers that are confusing, so what key things shoud I be looking at or looking for?
if psibble maybe someone can post a copy of one with things highlighted, so I have an idea what Im really looking at.

also should I be looking at the 10-K or is the 10-Q all I really need
thanks
