Firstly, for those whom do not understand what the US-Securities and Exchange Commission (US-SEC) does, please read this short paragraph and click the link if you require further information.
The SEC’s EDGAR database provides free public access to corporate information, allowing you to quickly research a company’s financial information and operations by reviewing registration statements, prospectuses and periodic reports filed on Forms 10-K and 10-Q. You also can find information about recent corporate events reported on Form 8-K but that a company does not have to disclose to investors.
This information titled “Researching Public Companies Through EDGAR: A Guide for Investors” can be found here directly on the US-Securities and Exchange Commission Website.
A quick search that took all of a few moments on their EDGAR system found the following:

So far these are the ones i have found listed and will be doing some further digging again next week. Its quite blatantly obvious that the above are publically listed companies in the United States of America. Why on earth are our Commonwealth and 2 state entities listed as public companies open for investment…
