Thinking of how to describe this book brings to mind a quote I once saw, which goes something like “In the business of investing, there are no right or wrong answers…there is just a hell of a lot of information.” Investors and traders have at their disposal a huge amount of information that they may employ to make their investment and trading decisions.

You can access this information through many sources, such as trade shows, books, newsletters, personal instruction, newspapers and, finally, the Internet. The amount of information on the Internet has virtually exploded in recent years, and you can learn a great deal on virtually any investment-related topic. Some of what is offered is free, some of it by paid subscription only…but one thing is sure...much of it is of little or no value, whatever the cost.

“The Investor’s FREE Internet is an incredibly useful and valuable guide to the best and most useful information available on the Internet for both investors and traders…and, best of all, the sources the book highlights are FREE. It not only tells you what information is available, but it also tells you where it is and how to use it.

There are so many Internet websites that investors often suffer from overload…too much data, too little information, not enough time. To solve this problem, authors Kennedy and Schwellenbach studied thousands of investment- and trading-related websites and isolated the ones with the best, and most useful, information…and further narrowed the list to the sources that were not only highly useful, but also FREE.

The basic tenet of the book is that investors and traders need high-value information, which can serve the purpose of both education and a process for investing (or trading) profitably. There is no single, comprehensive source of information. But, lots of free information is available. While some of it is of the same quality as paid information, it is fragmented. Much of it is given away to tempt the reader to buy more information and other services.

Multiple sources of free information need to be identified and organized. That is what this guide attempts to do. To the best of my knowledge, this is a unique reference guide, and no other source organizes and describes this free information and “sorts the wheat from the chaff” by distinguishing high-value free information from worthless free information (and there's a huge amount of that type everywhere).

For virtually any investment- or trading-related topic, the authors provide not just a list of websites that offer high-value free information on them but also descriptions of the websites and just what information they offer. Education, for example, is organized into five main topics: investment psychology, business and economic analysis, market analysis, technical analysis, and other investing methods.

Want to learn all there is to know about exchange-traded funds, sector trading and rotation, Gann, day trading, pivot points, program trading, Fibonacci analysis, chart patterns, or any of a hundred other topics? Just check out this guide…it steers you right to the best sites available.

The second goal of this book, after showing what is available and where to find it, is to show how to organize what you find into a process for profitable investing or trading. They go into great detail and explain how to categorize, select, synthesize and use that information. Both short- and long-term investors and traders will find this unique and valuable guide a welcome addition to their investment library.
