Briefly: All the brokers

SMALL investors now have access to The Estimate Directory, a regularly updated book that provides a summary of 40 stockbrokers' financial forecasts for UK quoted companies.

The directory covers companies with market capitalisations of more than pounds 10m, and highlights those where brokers have been raising or downgrading forecasts. Until now the directory has been aimed mainly at professional investors with its pounds 350 annual subscription providing 12 issues a year.

Publisher Edinburgh Financial Publishing is offering quarterly editions at pounds 105 a year.
