Here are some resources to get you investing online in no time.
Can technology make you a better investor? Nearly three-quarters (72 per cent ) of Canadians say it can, according to a new bank report. BMO InvestorLine surveyed Canadian investors and found the vast majority who responded yes to this question use the technology mainly to keep informed (73 per cent ) and as a source of advice (68 per cent.) Fewer, however, are using technology to act on investment decisions (59 per cent,) simplify things (57 per cent) or provide greater convenience (57%), suggesting Canadians still have a ways to go yet in truly embracing the technology at their fingertips for online trades. Not only is online investing convenient but it’s getting cheaper too. Just this past week RBC Direct Investing announced that all DIY investors will now pay a flat commission of $9.95 per equity trade though online and mobile channels.
