your ’Net worthIf that is your problem, here are a few easy Web ways to find out how to invest.
One of the oldest financial advisers on the Internet is the Motley Fool, which started on America Online and moved to the Web at http://www.fool.com/.
There you can get stock market advice and get specially prepared reports for a price.
If you want to go it alone, then there is Big Charts with free and unlimited access with reports and analyses of 22,000 U.S. stock mutual funds and major indices. It's at http://www1.bigcharts.com/nscp/4.x/.
If you have a copy of the financial manager and checkbook balancer Quicken, put a little down on NetWorth at http://networth.quicken.com/, which will track your funds and make chart comparisons to other funds.
Finally, for a simple stock quote, check out the Honolulu Star-Bulletin's stock ticker under the live stock quote portion of the business section of this paper's Internet edition at http://archives.starbulletin.com.
