The beauty of online investing is that, due to the advance of securities law and technology, so much is known about stock investing today. Some years ago, you had to order annual reports and wait for them to arrive in the mail. Quarterly financial data came in the mail weeks late. If you wanted charts of stock prices, you had to create them day after day by hand or pay an outrageous sum of money to specialist firms to send them. And if you wanted statistics revealing how a stock had performed in the past, forget it. Even if you could find data providers that held such statistics, you probably couldn't afford them. And information was typically far from timely.
Today almost any current data point you could think about a public company is available somewhere online. The key, then, is to determine which data or factors are important and pick you stock.
