Our intent is to deliver a very select, compact and highly-useful list of web sites, not an all-inclusive list.This project was created with the focused purpose of adding convenience and efficiency to the daily activities of the readers of a unique book. These readers are intended to be individual investors, researchers, professional investors, financial planners, business managers, executives and professionals in the fields of finance, investments and economics. Our requirements mean that many web sites with merit may not have been added to our list, because the list is intended to be focused and short enough to allow for true convenience of use.

· Some of the Internet sites in PLUNKETT'S ON-LINE TRADING, FINANCE & INVESTMENT WEB SITES ALMANAC are so large in scope and in variety of data and services that we have been unable to completely list all related information.
· This volume is intended to be a general guide to sites and companies in numerous industries.

Where possible, we have listed toll-free telephone numbers and World Wide Web site addresses for related companies, government agencies and industry associations, so that the reader may get further details without unnecessary delay.
· We have used exhaustive efforts to locate and fairly present accurate and complete data. However, when using this book or any other source for business and industry information, the reader should use caution and due diligence by conducting further research where it seems appropriate. We wish you success in your endeavors, and we trust that your experience with this book will be both satisfactory and productive.
