Summary: Anytime, Anywhere, Anyway access...
Review: 24 x 7 x 366, This book to online investing illustrates that "true" visionaries still exist in the Millennium. I found this awesome book to be informative, educational, easy to follow and comprehend. It was the most fun to read of ANY financial investing book I've ever picked up. I strongly recommend it to everyone thinking about on-line investing, or even to the more savvy investor just needing to "brush up". Christos-next time I'm in the Foxhole-I want you by my side...

Summary: Good for online investor novices, a good reminder for others
Review: Cotsakos writes in plain, yet entertaining English and starts with the basics of computers, the Internet, and investing--a definite benefit for the novice online investor. A quick and relatively easy read, the book does a pretty good job of explaining some more sophisticated aspects of investing. Cotsakos' analogy of purchasing a new car to explain options is particularly effective. The book tails off when it comes to explaining other hedging strategies, although it is not the focus of this book. Overall, I would (and already did) recommend this book to novice online investors.

Summary: Wow!
Review: Finally, a subject so complex put in such easy-to-read format. Christos should get into textbook writing....students could party and still make A's!

Summary: Excellent for most
Review: It's only one comment: I never thought investing is that easy. Cotsakos, please more books!

Summary: Knowledge in it's best form, simplicity
Review: Now first off I would like to adress that this book isn't about Etrade as much as everyone thinks. He talks about how stocks are traded, the different forms of them and bond trading. This can be applied toward any brokerage. It's simple reading and it has many good analogies and diagrams to get his points across. Highly recommened for anyone learning a bout the stocks market for the first time.

Summary: Great for first time E*Trade investers
Review: This book gives you the nuts and bolts about trading and investing on E*Trade. It also covers investment tips and references to use, such as margin trading. The book does not tell you what to invest in but how to manage your own money. Great starter book for E*Trade investers and investors who think they know what they are doing but do not.

Rating:
Summary: An Advertisement for E*TRADE
Review: This book was completely unfulfilling. It's hard to imagine a book that could be less useful for investors. Perhaps Costakos assumes that his potential customers are simpletons who don't know how the Internet works. Even so, his consistent proselytizing for his own online brokerage will annoy both neophytes and experienced traders alike.

Summary: GRRRREAT
Review: This is an excellent book for any one from a novice investor though a persistent day-trader. It is very informative on current and future use of the internet and its uses to making security trading easy for everyone. Great read.
