The Investor's Free Internet

Start crawling the Internet without knowing what you want to find about stock investing, and you'll soon be buried in material that won't make much sense to you. Enter The Investor's Free Internet to solve that problem. The book places equal emphasis on education, investing process and investor information. But before getting into all that, the authors try to waterproof new investors against the kinds of problems that most new investors fall into. Early chapters look at investing best practices, understanding investor psychology, analyzing businesses fundamentally, market evaluation, technical analysis and investing methods. From there, the book shifts into a look at process emphasizing three stages: Determine the business climate; assess the market; and prepare a plan to invest in one or more stocks. In the rest of section 3, you find out how to locate free news, analysis, reports, quotes, charts, indicators and expert opinions. Section 4 examines the day-to-day elements of investing in three more stages: Set action triggers; manage the investment; and analyze the results. The remaining chapters in that section look at free short-term information to support those objectives. As someone who has been buying and selling stocks since 1968, I found the book was a little too oriented to new investors to be of much help to me. But I did pick up a few Web sites that I didn't know about before. If this book had been available ten years ago when my older son started investing, I would have given him a copy.
