Getting what you pay for

Article Abstract:

Investors can obtain information on stock prices from a number of sources such as Ceefax and Teletext, and there are a number of free services available on the internet. A paid service can offer value for investors seeking reliable and accurate data in a format that they can analyse easily and rapidly. Users should try out demo disks to assess software products. Users vary in terms of their needs, and services vary in what they offer, but users should assess factors such as responsiveness to requests.

Not quite the real thing

Article Abstract:

Investment software simulators can allow investors to learn skills without risking their funds, supporters argue, though critics contend that they can only learn by taking risks. There are a number of such packages available and they include Updata's profit. Investors begin with a fixed cash amount and practice buying and selling. LIFFE offers a package for learning about the options market. There is also software available from the world wide web which tends to be geared to the US market.
