Article Abstract:
Online stock broking services have become increasingly popular in the 1990s and have a number of advantages for investors. They include lower costs, 24-hour availability, local charges than for phone calls for investors living in remote areas, and integration with other financial programs. Investors should select their brokers and information services, open an account and make their orders. Online dealing is less developed in the UK than in the US, partly because individual investors are more numerous in the US.

The crazy world of cyber-capitalism
Article Abstract:
The Internet can provide easier access to financial services and reduce the need for intermediaries. Financial companies such as Merrill Lynch are using the Internet, and computer software companies may acquire fund managers or stock brokers. Programmed computers can provide regulation, making government regulators redundant. Government regulators cannot easily operate in the new climate where national boundaries can easily be crossed. Redundant regulators can become independent advisers on regulations.
