Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

“There is a large difference between online trading and online investing. Michael Thomsett has done an excellent job in showing that difference. Online investing is already here and will only continue to grow through the years. To be prepared, individuals need to know the steps necessary in becoming successful investors. Following fundamentals of a company are just as important today as they have been in the past, and Mr. Thomsett has given the blueprint for success.”

How can you use the Internet to make better investments?

The need for diverse, detailed, and up-to-the-minute investing information is crucial, and makes the Internet a perfect investment tool—but still not a substitute for experience or knowledge. Getting information fast is great, but knowing which facts are critical to your investment decisions can be a daunting task. Mastering Online Investing not only helps you navigate these choppy waters, but also shows you how to choose and use the information that’s best for you. Inside, you’ll discover:

*Why online investing is not the same as online trading
*That some of the rules may have changed, but most have not
*How to use the Internet to study a company’s fundamentals—the cornerstone of every sound investing decision
*How to avoid speculation fever
*How to find the right information for your individual investing needs
*How to protect yourself—and your investments—when investing online

More About the Author

I have been writing professionally since 1978 and fulltime since 1984. Previously, I was an accountant.
From 1978 to 1984 I wrote part-time and also was a consultant in the financial services industry. Once I began writing fulltime, I began in the magazine journalism field as a freelancer. In 1985 and 1986 I wrote approximately 500 articles in business, trade and professional magazines. I then switched over to books exclusively and have written over 70 books. These include my own as well as ghost-written projects.
Today I like to work on multiple books at the same time, normally two or three projects. Being able to switch back and forth keeps the writing process fresh and interesting. I generally write from 7 a.m. until noon and spend afternoons on research.
