Summary: Great information source
Review: I am a total beginner to Online Investing, and Dr. Sindell's book gave me enough information to feel really able to get started. Whenever there was a topic I wanted to find out more about (electronic trading, DRIPs etc), the detailed index led me to an equally detailed discussion in the book. An excellent resource!

Summary: Wish I hadn't bought it
Review: I figured the "dummy" in the title meant that someone totally clueless like me could buy this book and get all the information they needed about online investing (which is really just investing).Instead, Sindell's book is a bloated list of links to other people's information - the book itself has little useful instruction or guidance, and the information it does have seems to be written for a more investment-savvy audience. Anyone who knows what a P/E ratio is wouldn't need to buy the book in the first place - so why doesn't she slow down and explain what all that stuff means? Indeed, I could have gotten the links in her book for free from a search engine - what I really wanted was a central location for all the information I could have gotten in 100 sites if I had the time to browse through them all. Instead of doing that, Sindell gives me the 100 sites and says, go look it up. She still doesn't tell me HOW I'm supposed to use these sites to determine whether a company's stock is solid or not. Some of them were dead links - another point to be made for minimizing web links in print manuals. Altogether a disappointing read.

Summary: this book is garbage
Review: i had to rate this book one star because there was no "ZERO"! This book is complete garbage and the worst investment you can make to start your investment career. There are other books on investing in this series, which do an incredible job for beginners. Even the resource centers at any decent online broker has better information for you than this book has and the links won't go bad!

Summary: A Terrific Book with excellent resource material
Review: I have all three of Dr. Sindell's Investing Online for Dummies books and have found them to be very informative and gave great resources. This book is an easy read for the novice investor and gave me the "courage" as an older person to start investing online by myself. All the information I needed has been addressed in these books. I am anxiously awaiting Dr. Sindell's next book for my collection.

Summary: Thank you Dr. Sindell for writing a great book!
Review: I selected "Investing Online for Dummies" because it was billed as an introductory book. This was my first exposure to systematic financial research and investing. What an awakening! I can't believe after years of looking at biz.yahoo, CNNfn, IIOnline, etc. how many pieces of info I was just disregarding. Truly you don't know, what you don't know. I'm interested in reading more like this and looking forward to the second edition.

Summary: If you want to learn it all from one source, this is it!
Review: I tried to invest online using information from two other books on the subject, but the experience left me cold. I had given up the idea of online investing when I heard about "Investing Online for Dummies" by Dr. Kathleen Sindell, on the Nightly Business Report. The review was so positive and excited me so, that I rushed out the next day and bought the book. Finally! Information about online investing written in an authoritative, thoughtful manner that I could understand! The book is beautifully organized in a manner that covers everything - selecting, analyzing, buying, monitoring and selling! The book even comes with its own CD! Thank you Dr. Sindell for writing such a comprehensive book - it is a truly a masterpiece that will help me achieve my financial goals!

Summary: I became comfortable investing over the Internet
Review: Investing Online for Dummies helped me through the process of investing on the Internet for the first time. It was very thorough, and yet I still felt comfortable trying out her suggestions. I found the section on being aware of online fraud especially useful.

Summary: Possibly the only Six-Star book on the market. A MUST!
Review: Investing Online for Dummies is the bible for anyone investing on the Internet, and a book that my broker buddies openly trash, yet privately stock as a handy reference. Intelligent, comprehensive, fat on facts, and loaded with useful hints and advice that doesn't exist elsewhere, Dr. Sindell took me right to the core of finding the answers I hopelessly spent hours trying to locate among dozens of other sources. To top it off, Investing Online for Dummies costed me less than the price of a single trade using a broker. When I asked my nephew what he wanted for his graduation, the smart aleck brazenly snipped: "A cool million". So I slipped him a check for $200 and a gift-wrapped copy of Investing Online for Dummies along with a bookmark that read: "KEEP THE CHANGE". Whether you're a pro at investing on the Internet or just considering it, you have to be a DUMMY not to buy this book.
