Financial transactions lend themselves to the numerical, digital orientation of the Internet.
Typically, online investing is surprisingly easy to get involved in. Sign-up procedures vary from site to site, but most will accept online applications in the first instance. For security, confirmation of your identity and accounting details is carried out via paper forms delivered to the address you enter online, and may include a follow-up phone call before a user ID and password are issued. It can take a few days for an application to be completed, so don't expect to hit a new site and be trading an hour later. Unfortunately, getting rich quick or planning for the future haven't become easier with the advent of online trading.
