4.0 out of 5 stars A nice intro and overview of US online investment services, July 20, 1999

By A Customer

A well organized book about US online investment services. But I would like a more extensive coverage of mutual fund and european investment services, maybe it will show up in the 2.edition?

I like the combination of this book and "Common Sense on Mutual Funds" by mr. Bogle, they are complementary!

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor, February 10, 2001

By	"arthurmaddock" (Naxos Greece) - See all my reviews

The book touches upon certain investment subjects such as TA FA and news reaction in very limited detail which in my opinion could be a serious disadvantage to the newcomer with naive knowledge gained from the book. The book should of stuck to giving an overview of what is on offer on the Internet It should definately of included a chapter to the risks associated with investing online. I think the reference made to Momentum investments is also not correct.
