Amazon.co.uk Review
Like all the best plots, this one is simple; and like all the best, simple plots, it has a happy ending. Online and offline, the Fools are a revelation. Their critical and commercial success and generally "wised-up" approach has turned investment into the new rock 'n' roll. Almost. Here they bring together the two strands of the Foolish empire: investment advice and Internet savvy.

The Fool's Guide to Online Investing is a breezy, whistle-stop tour of the key factors behind Web profits. Perhaps wary of their own observation that "investing online involves the same general principles as investing offline...it's no good adopting a different investment style, or throwing sensible principles to the wind, simply because you're investing online", the book makes no attempt to wow investors with new tools and techniques. Basic investment principles are covered but more often than not, The Fool's Guide to Online Investing points to The Motley Fool UK Investment Guide as the place to go for information and tactics. And, quite rightly, repetition is out.

With the Investment Guide on one hand and the peerless Motley Fool Website on the other, The Fool's Guide to Online Investing falls a little between two stools--or perhaps more accurately, it stalls between two Fools. Author Nigel Roberts' central task is to walk the reader through an Internet research exercise using the Motley Fool Website to demonstrate the power of the Web in accessing company information. All of the deeper Foolish facilities--message boards, charts, quotes and archived news stories--are highlighted and given their place in the research and decision-making process. There is also advice on online brokers, the process of buying and selling shares on and offline, and a cut to the Motley Fool's US sister for those looking to invest further afield. If it all sounds like an extended advertisement, that's because it is, but given their "hope that we may...be creating one of the world's future leading brands", who would dispute their right to some self-promotion?

The Fool's Guide to Online Investing adds up to a useful resource for investors wanting to check out the Internet. The ending? That would be giving too much away. Let's just say it involves the words "financial" and "prosperity". For more Foolish investment advice, visit the Motley Fool Bookshop. --Iain Campbell

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: Great book for the new investor, 18 Aug 2000 By A Customer You can read all of the other "How to Invest" books on the market, but if you're new to the investment world, they might confuse you. The Motley Fool, though, will give you a great start in a fun, less serious tone...and one that can make investing profitable and enjoyable. After reading several "Internet Investment guides" I was beginning to think that you either have to be exceptionally boring, or overly technical to write anything about investing and the internet. I was glad to find The Motley Fool Oline Investment Guide. It is fresh and interesting, even humorous at times. I enjoyed the book and have put several of the ideas into practice. It's an easy read.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Great book!!!, 23 Jan 2000 By A Customer I bought a copy of the boom at the weekend (not from Amazon, so I paid full price). The content is amazing! I am new to investing, and also relatively new to the internet, and wanted a good UK based guide rather than the US ones that seem to be about. The book is informative, clear and concise. It takes away the 'mystique' of surfing the net for information, and gives plenty of helpful tips,advice and knowledgeable comments. It is hard to single out one particular chapter as there is something for everyone. The loadsalinks in the appendix is worth buying the book for - despite the fact that this is also updated and listed on the Fool website too, indeed the book should be bought because they also have loadsalinks on their website for free! But the book is so much more than just a list of links (this takes up about 2 pages out of 200). I would recommend this book wholeheartedly to both newcomers investing and to the internet, and I am sure it would also be great for old experienced investors trying to discover about this new medium. The book really is great - thanks to the Motley Fool, and thanks to TMFNigel for sharing this knowledge with us all. Oh - did I say it is funny too? Well it is!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

There was nothing in the book that hadn't been covered on the site already. If I were to recommend one of the fool books, I'd say it would be worth it to rather go straight on to the Motley Fool UK Investment Guide. Yes, this is also partly a repeat of what is on the site, but I feel that it covers everything in more detail, is less of a 'primer for the website', and it feels less like a straight-forward print-out of the web pages in book format.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
