Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Familiar with the Internet? Don't Go Here.
Review: Even if your unfamiliar with the Net, much of the data regarding in this book is outdated. That being said it still may hold some value for those who are clueless. It breaks internet and pc related information down in a way that will help a novice in this area grasp a few concepts.
If you need stock market 101, 102, and so on, then this is not really a good book. I found that the author trivializes some trading practices that could prove to be dangerous to inexperienced investors. It does give a decent general overview about online trading, and what to expect; however, you can generally get that out off of the e-broker's tutorials.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Insightful Thinking -- Too bad about the links
Review: It's clear the authors are very capable financial journalists. Unlike other investing books I've read, this one is actually an amusing read...sort of in the tradition of Tobin. Even the section on technical analysis is readable.

A minor complaint: about a third of the web links are outdated...which is probably inevitable in any book about online anything. Fortunately, though, there's still plenty of meat here, even without the web links.

I'd recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand or review the basics of investing on line.

Rating: 5 stars
