4.0 out of 5 stars Teaches you the mechanics of E-Trading, June 20, 2000

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself e-Trading Today (Teach Yourself -- Today) (Paperback)

This book teaches you the mechanics of E-Trading, from how to select the right broker, how to do research, how to make your trades, how to track your portfolio, even how to complain when things go wrong. There is about a 30 page appendix of useful websites. If you're looking for a book which teaches you how to select stocks via fundamental or technical analysis, keep looking, you're not going to find those topics in this book.
