Online
Investing is nothing short of a miracle.
Investing on the Internet represents something never before
possible: at your fingertips is the financial library
for the entire world.
However,
online investing also represents a huge temptation.
In a split second you can buy or sell ownership
in thousands of companies, often for $10 or
less. Make
something too easy and people are bound to abuse it.
Successful
investing
often involves two concepts.
First, use the power of online investing to help
research companies, not to increase the number of financial
transactions you can perform.
In a matter of a few hours, an online investor
can research a company and perform financial
calculations that would have required a month of time
and an army of MBAs to decipher just a few years ago.
Second, always remember that investing is not a
trivial matter and won’t become one
either.
Investing
online can reduce your investment costs, help you better
manage your portfolio, and give you a better understanding
of your investments.
