The Unofficial Guide to Online Investing
Henry F. Robb
Rank: 809988
Over 4 million people are logging onto the Internet to research stocks,
check quotes, and make investments, and the number is growing daily.
It's
hard to believe that only three years ago the average person hadn't even
heard about online investing.
And a little over a year ago people in the
bricks-and-mortar financial industry didn't believe that online brokerages
could compete.
Now the likes of Merrill Lynch, Prudential Securities, and
Morgan Stanley are rushing to create their own online brokerage sites. In The Unofficial Guide to Online Investing, new and
experienced investors learn to: - Choose which computer, Internet
Service Provider, and investment software is best for online
investing
- Find the web sites every online investor must know
- Pick an
online broker and set up an account
- Monitor investments on- and
off-site
- Evaluate online investment clubs, bulletin boards, discussion
forums and news groups, mailing lists, and magazines
- Avoid the scams
and pitfalls of online investing -- what happens if the online brokers
site crashes?
