Best Investment Research Sources?

Anyone have some recommendations for where to find good buy-side investment research papers? Something like Seeking Alpha but higher quality research..SumZero would be perfect but it looks like even the pay service is closed for now.

I found some firms that post their research online such as http://presciencefunds.com/research/ , does anyone have a source that aggregates research like this?

I am guessing that you mean bottom up research, in which case the original sources, just read the footnotes, are always the best, but if you are looking for data, IMO, Morning Star is the best.

Assuming you are at a decent shop, you are doing most of your work on a Terminal. SEC filings like directly to them as well (read natively within the software). Sell-side estimates are there to do a sanity check.

I know of cheaper alternatives that can do aggregate research like Sentieo, you might wanna check that out for easy research and comparison of multiples, comps.
