"Douglas Gerlach has
one basic rule for those who would use the Internet as an investment tool: 'Learn how
to differentiate noise from useful information,' he said. The Internet is a boiling
cauldron of financial-news Web sites, discount brokers charging as little as $5 per
market order, hot-tip mailing lists, rumor-mongering message boards, delayed and
real-time stock quotes, pie charts, analyst ratings and government securities filings.
Cutting through all that 'noise,' as Gerlach calls it, to hear the sweet song of financial
success can be as difficult as it is rewarding. 'For a
newbie, it's very easy to become adrift,' he said. But for those investors who take the
time to learn how to use it, the Web can be invaluable."
