Information is power.
That is the saying. It is a truth that applies to most endeavors, but one that is especially relevant to investing. Because information is the raw material of investing, that's why. By using the Internet as a research tool, today's small investor has access to an enormous amount of information on overall financial markets, equities, commodities and bonds, and the comings and goings of individual companies. With so much raw information available via the Internet, today's investors actually face the danger of information overload.
