About this title

Review

Many books focus on cyberspace money management, but most attempt such comprehensive coverage that their assembled wisdom--best described as a mile wide and an inch deep--is virtually useless. Financial author and Internet broadcaster Paul Farrell takes a more targeted approach with Mutual Funds on the Net: Making Money Online, and the results are welcome. Everything needed to select, track, and trade one of today's most popular financial vehicles online is fully discussed and expertly analyzed.
