Evolution of the electronic trader

Article Abstract:

It is becoming increasingly common for stockbrokers in the UK to offer online services. Initially, these services were merely a means of establishing contact between the stockbroker and the client, but it is now possible to execute your own trades. E-Trade, the third-largest online firm in the US, believes that the new stockbroking model now emerging assumes that clients are inherently intelligent, with stockbrokers supplying the necessary information to allow people to undertake their own transactions.

Article Abstract:

Novelist Emma Dally recalls that it was very hard for her parents, who were psychiatrists, to deal with the fact that her brother Simon started to suffer from manic depression.

He regarded his son's depression as merely a reaction to life's problems.
