The New Millennium Gold Rush
Referring to online investing as the new millennium gold rush is not hype. Nor is it simply a clever way to indicate our hope of striking it rich. For a growing number of traders and investors it is simply the truth.
The Internet is not only profoundly impacting how we shop, do business, gather information, and communicate, but it is also transforming the way the major stock markets and brokerage industry work. Both are changing more rapidly now than in their whole history. This change is toward catering more than ever before to the individual investor who trades online.
We are moving rapidly toward an electronic environment in which we will have the freedom and convenience to be able to wake up at three in the morning, sit down at the computer, and with a few mouse clicks, trade any stock, commodity, currency, or index anywhere in the world.
While we are not yet able to plug in to such a grand design, ever increasing numbers of us have already gone west (discovered online trading) and have staked a claim (made a deposit) with a discount broker. We then mine individual stocks to find their kernels of gold.
The goal of The Disciplined Online Investor is to help you, as an online prospector, manage your thoughts and emotions around the process of trading. By doing so, you will increase your chances of success in hitting the vein of gold. And you will come to know yourself better in the process.
