Downloading from the Net

Article Abstract:

The Internet is a valuable source of information for UK investors who can try out investment software as well as obtaining financial data. UK software companies have not yet marketed their products to any great extent using the Internet, though this looks set to change. Investors are likely to find US products on the whole, when they use the Internet. Information from the financial press can also be downloaded though few companies have made annual reports available through the Internet.
