The Internet brings the Stock
Exchange into my Office and my Living Room (on my desktop or
laptop). Even more: with a pocket computer and GPRS I can deal
in shares wherever I am.
With Broadband and
Multi-tasking, I can keep my Portfolio on live display on a separate
screen or window, while I do other things. Any drastic change in
price can alert me to take action!
Multi-screen
Monitor
I can get real, up-to-date,
information on more than 10,000 stocks and shares, including:
charts for periods of 1 day to
5 years and more;
facts, statistics and ratios
about any of those 10,000 shares;
news stories relevant to a
particular company;
recommendations and opinions
of experts.
I can see how the prices are
changing, as it happens, minute by minute.
I can buy and sell shares at
the touch of a button.
I pay much lower
commissions than on paper and phone deals.
I can trade at virtually any
Stock Exchange around the world, and trade at any time of the day or
night.
I can bet on the Swings.
I can engage in Day Trading
(buying and selling on one day).
I can engage in Spread Betting
(betting on price changes) and trade in Futures.
I can rely on free information,
or pay for advice.
