The Internet contains a wide range of valuable information for amateur investors. It is particularly worth consulting news groups, as they can give the amateur investor a feeling of community. It is also important to seek professional information, rather than just exchanging comments with other amateurs. The Internet has a number of sources of share price information, and also has many sites offering general or specific financial information.
