Editorial Review:

Product Description:
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.

In The Unofficial Guide to Online Investing, new and experienced investors learn to:

• 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?

If you want to learn about Online Investing, leave this book on the shelf and look for another book which has doesn't have all this non-Online Investing stuff. Leave this ... Read More
