Description:
Perhaps the Internet's most important impact is the way it eliminates distance, allowing us to span the globe with a mouse click. For global investors, the Net offers a wealth of information on foreign economies and markets. This is the special focus of Investing Online by Stephen Eckett, who has traded futures and derivatives in London, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. Like other books, this one covers all the major U.S. financial Web sites, but it also includes a directory of sites in 44 other nations. Here's where to go to check the price of a stock on the Thailand stock exchange or to find out the unemployment rate in Sweden. Eckett offers some thoughtful musings on the long-term impact of the Internet on how we will invest in the future. Among other things, he believes the boundary between investment and gambling will blur, then disappear completely. We'll sell gold short and bet on the World Cup from the same computer screen. --Barry Mitzman
