  Technological advances and the availability of online trading and information have enabled the private investor to bypass the more traditional stockbroking and investment management routes to conduct his or her own investment activities. Twenty-five per cent of all retail trades in the US are conducted online, a figure that is expected to double by the year 2001. Stockbrokers offering online services have expanded rapidly over the past year and Charles Schwab, the market leader, estimates that 50 per cent of its 100,000 daily trades over several months have been conducted online. High quality up-to-date information is essential in order for this rapidly expanding market of private investors to operate effectively. Peter Temple's fully revised and updated edition, although not omitting the basics of online investment for those who still need them, moves on to meet the more sophisticated demands of investors.
