Sorry the English is hard for you.
The English is hard on most of the pages you will visit. The English is
written for native readers. I try to make the English easier on the
pages I write.

Does the McDonald's of Japan site have
1. financial statements?
2. a dividend history?
3. press releases?
4. information about earnings?
5. information about the stock price?
You do not have to answer these questions for me.
These questions are the ones to ask when you look at the McDonald's of
Japan site.
Ask these questions when you look at the financial information for any
company.

The information on the Internet:
1. helps investors decide whether to buy or sell the stock of a company.
2. tells investors about new products and services of the company.
3. tells the investors about the company's plan for the future.
4. helps the investors find out what is wrong with some companies. The
government sites such as the SEC have this information.
5. helps investors learn about trends in the industry. The brokers have
this information at their sites.
