Domash's (a
journalist) engaging writing style and the upbeat format of the book's
large quantity of information result in a guide that amateur online
investors will find appealing. The reader is trained in how to choose and
use an online broker (over 100 are profiled here), manage a portfolio,
make picks, screen stocks, models for selection, profile a company, read
the analysis, use insider information, and screen for top mutual funds.
Frequent sidebars provide definitions of terms and concepts. Annotation c.
