Oh, you're absolutely right! BamSEC is a real gem, isn't it? It's like having a superpower for sourcing specific figures or quotes in Excel. Plus, the Similar Tables feature is a godsend.

But let's not forget about some other tools that can be just as handy. For instance, LogoIntern is a fantastic database of company logos, and Noun Project is great for finding flat icons for decks.

PitchBook is another one I use quite often for early stage company info. And of course, Macabacus is an advanced financial analysis tool that's pretty much indispensable.

And last but not least, there's always the Wallstreet Oasis finance community forum. It's a great place to connect with others in the field and share insights.

So, while BamSEC is definitely a top pick, there are plenty of other tools in the toolbox that can be just as useful.
