Hi,

Suppose:
I needed to research on company shares and then give a presentation about what are company shares.

I googled it, and downloaded many articles and news.
I bought some books about company shares.


Question:
Can I use "information" in the following sentence?

Sentence:
When I reseached on company shares, I would classify the infomation I found by topics, eg, what is company shares, reasons for buying shares, and how to buy.

Thanks

Your use of 'information' is right. But general you don't write a "When ..., I would ..." sentence*.
Try this:
If I..., I would... (present)
When I ..., I will ... (future)
When I ..., I did (or I <verbed>)... (past)
Whenever I ..., I would...; or I did (or I <verbed>) (past).

*If you've used "When" to mean "whenever" your original sentence could be right, but it doesn't sound right by itself.
