NetMoney

Your complete guide to the thousands of personal finance sites in cyberspace.

The Internet has empowered the individual investor in new and unexpected ways. Besides offering the ability to strap yourself to the market roller coaster ride, tracking your portfolio and net worth in nerve-wracking 15-minute increments while holding your hands in the air daring yourself to wait as long as possible to put in the call to your broker, the Web is hosting an increasingly sophisticated toolkit for understanding markets and investing. With investing, knowledge is indeed power, and easy access to online tools makes it easier to be persistent about your financial portfolio.

The value of Netmoney is that it gives you a head start on finding out what kinds of services are available, which services are free and which cost money, and how to protect yourself and assess risks while exploring the vastness of online financial services.
