- Among the most useful books on investing I've seen...
This is one of the most useful books on investing that I've seen.

The excellent chapter on fundamental analysis alone is worth the price of admission. Plus there are chapters on technical analysis, mutual funds, asset allocation, financial planning, investing in bonds etc, all equally well written.

Hope the author writes a sequel to this book covering topics not covered here (eg. topics related to options trading).

A required title in any serious investor's bookshelf.

- Great Tools for the Online Investor
Bonnie Biafore's excellent book is filled with great ideas and tips for the online investor. Though the title claims "100 Industrial-Strength Tips & Tools," the tips expand the hacks so that there are actually far more than 100 ideas. The format of the book is such that it does not have to be read cover-to-cover, allowing the reader to focus on whichever part is of interest. Each hack carries a thermometer identifying its difficulty level, from beginner to expert, something I found very helpful when trying out the hacks. Additionally, all tips are highlighted with a pushpin symbol, greatly expanding the number of tips to beyond the claim of 100.

I particulary found useful the hacks on getting financial data (hacks 7 - 13), calculating competitors' averages (hack 23), and making a spreadsheet with earnings release information (hack 23). The explaination on financial data is a must read (pages 68 - 74). I am thrilled with the tools in this book and am looking forward to trying out many more of them. Online Investing Hacks will keep me busy for a long time.

Books like this are great to keep on one's bookshelf. As an intermediate investor with less than intermediate computer skills, I like the idea that I can grow into this book as my computer skills develop.

Hats off to Ms. Biafore on writing such a fine book!

- Use financial sources on the Internet
Barely 12 years ago, before the Web, there was very little on the Internet for the investor. And what there was cost money to access. Here, Biafore gives a good current survey of how there has been a vast systemic change.

The bulk of her book consists of methods ("hacks") of getting financial data from the Internet. Mostly free access, note. But the book is far more than just a list of good financial websites. For that, you can go to magazines like Forbes, Fortune, Business Week and Kiplinger's, which regularly publish such lists. Remember that this is an O'Reilly book, and the publisher's readers are often programmers.

Thus, many methods involve downloading data into an Excel spreadsheet that has logic to analyse it using meaningful financial formulas or metrics. Of course, given such a spreadsheet, you can add further logic of your own, to winnow down a list of stocks. If you are already a programmer, then from that standpoint, there is nothing hard in the book. You may not perhaps be as conversant with some of the financial jargon. But part of the book's job is to educate you on that.

The thrust of the book is to let you, the investor, take a maximal and active advantage of the best financial resources on the Internet.

- Educational tips, insights, suggestions and solutions...
This is an excellent text covering a wide variety of investment topics; from do-it-yourself Excel spreadsheets for tracking and evaluating investment ideas to understanding technical analysis to online trading (and pretty much everything in between). There is a wealth of diverse investing information in each of the 100 "hacks".

I really liked the short "hacks" format - which really reads more like an informative news article. I don't have the patience to read an entire book about Technical Analysis, so this book was perfect for me. Each "investing hack" is any where from a couple pages to 10 or more which makes the book very easy to read. Curious about line and bar charts, candlestick charts, point and figure charts, or more importantly, how to spot patterns in techincal charts? Turn to the Hacks 46-53 on Technical Analysis. Mutual Funds? Hacks 59-72. Hindsight is 20/20, but if you're interested in how Enron and WorldCom cooked the books, there are hacks that point to the warning signs in a company's financial statements (Hack #39 - Spot Hanky Panky with Cash Flow Analysis).

Each hack also references other hacks in the book as well as online resources available (both free and fee-based sites) if you'd like more information. This book makes an excellent reference collection of investing "hacks" - there is something for everybody, whatever your online investing skill level and investment style may be. I have already put a few of the Excel hacks to good use!
