Where can I find reliable information about the online investing community? Numbers, demographics, trends, anything…
I mean the people who invest and trade online. I just need to know about the industry itself.
Barrons publishes a great article on the online brokers every year. This years was from March 6th. That’s one source.
Unfortunately, I don’t recall seeing too much else other than what I’ve seen in the news.
Hope that helps some.
Define the online investing community…
I wouldn’t worry about other investors as much as getting good stats on the companies you’re investing in.
finance.yahoo.com is good.

I don’t know if anyone has precise information as to the size of the online investing community.
However, finance.yahoo.com and finance.google.com are the best places to start researching and getting a feel for online investing.
If you decide to attempt investing online but would like to use "fake" money first, http://www.investopedia.com has great resources.
If it helps, there are about 8,000 people in the investing game on investopedia.com I am in, so the online investing community is huge.
