Mutual Funds and RRSPs Online

Monika Rohlmann is an environmental/social consultant in Yellowknife,
Northwest Territories.

In their latest guide to the Canadian Internet market, Carroll and
Broadhead provide both a review of useful Internet sites and an
introduction to financial planning, investment tools, and research
methodology on the Internet. Readers learn how to start an RRSP plan,
where to research options, and how to use online financial calculators.
Investment concepts and instruments are introduced, and there are
separate chapters on investment certificates, mutual funds, stocks, and
bonds. Online tools suitable for monitoring and comparing investment
returns are discussed. Finally, there is a review of the advantages and
pitfalls of online investing and a hint of the tremendous changes that
are imminent in the financial services industry as more and more
Canadians become involved in e-trading and online financial research and
management.

This book is recommended for investors who want to tap into the wealth
of financial resources that are available on the Internet.
