Summary

Using one of author Jon Markman's momentum-stock models, a single $10,000 investment in 1986 would be worth $5.4 million today. That's ten times what the S&P 500 did! In Online Investing, Second Edition, Markman builds on his innovative "year-trading" model and shares new wealth-building strategies -- once again demonstrating how to use the power of the Internet and a home PC to do in minutes what Wall Street professionals do full time. The book provides updated information on growth year-trading and delivers new content on month-trading, seasonal trading patterns, where momentum comes from, and how to pick the stocks with the potential to gain 10,000% in 10 years! In the book's highly regarded first edition, this award-winning author made complex investment terminology and trading strategies accessible to even the lay investor. Online Investing, Second Edition delivers more of Markman's expert and easy-to-read advice, complete with powerful new techniques for finding -- and buying -- the right stocks at the right time.
