Press and Industry Reviews

'Stephen Eckett's book, Investing Online, is much more ambitious. Though he covers all the conventional private-investor issues, Eckett ranges far beyond this into the
realms of the professional and global investor as well. The Financial Internet directory at the back of the book is tremendous with more than 200 pages of relevant, detailed information. It is not the sort of book that you can polish off in a Sunday afternoon, but tremendously informative for investors at all levels who wish to expand their Internet investment horizons without becoming mired in irrelevant trivia.'
