BusinessWeek Online calls Investing Online for Dummies “The best of the lot . . . full of solid advice and Web hints. Sindell covers every area you need to worry about: financial planning, choosing mutual funds and stocks, and portfolio tracking. The book even includes a helpful section on bonds, a subject too often ignored.”
