With the spur of online business in this era, the possession of cash now becomes less significant when conducting business online. Making purchase online require sort of transaction line between seller and purchaser, and it is not in the form of tangible money but through wire transfers between the two party.
With the growing infrastructure of online store or E-Commerce, now the investment part of the trading starting to rise and take place. Let us take example of E-Gold, (www.e-gold.com), where transaction of banking is 100% prepared, processed, and conducted online. It is a form of banking, investment solution for those who are looking forward for the convenience of investing the “Virtual money” on their online account to be placed somewhere more beneficial compared to their checking or traditional account. A further look is the convenient of online stock market trading in E-trade (www.etrade.com). E-trade allows their clients to conduct stock market trading through online interface. This for many investor, allow them to have a lot more information than before. They could have live data of actual buy or sell information and much beneficial information. E-trade has been very successful in their implementation of online investment drawing more people to trade in the stock market. So our question for us, the internet generation, whether we should adapt more into a high tech online investment or should we do it in a more traditional way? In my opinion the next generation of investing will be done through online worldwide. So there will be a centered corporate who will function as a hub to be the agent for trading online worldwide. Of course this is becoming a reality since the growth of the online store and online banking, E-investment will also become very significant. Not all countries are ready for this E-investment to be applied to their investment system yet. People are need be informed and be educated that investing online have much more advantage than the traditional way. This will take quite a challenge where internet is not yet widely spread. Then the approach of E-investment is not for everyone at the moment. ( Vivi Liana)
