This is a book for people who wish to buy and sell shares quickly and cheaply the modern way - by using computers and the Internet. It caters for beginners by first explaining share investments from first principles before discussing the specific online aspects.

The book will also appeal to more experienced stock exchange investors by explaining in detail the differences between dealing with full service brokers and discount brokers and by examining the advantages and disadvantages of both these approaches.

Other topics include broker research, key ratios, online prospectuses, Internet scams and shareholder complaints. The use of the Internet to invest in managed funds and in overseas shares, to engage in margin lending and to vote at company meetings is also discussed.

A glossary and lists of country codes and currency symbols are included.
