List three or four things that you learned that will help you improve your "surfing" skills.
  2. One excellent investment oriented Web site is http://www.investor.msn.com. Visit the site and write a brief summary of some of the material and tools you found on the site.
  3. An initial step in the investment process is to assess your tolerance for risk. Visit the Web site, http://www.investingonline.org/gso/index.html, and take the interactive quiz. According to the results, how much investment risk can you tolerate? Do you agree or disagree with results?
