Online trading is hot again

 Pravin Mehta has seen the value of his investments double in the last four to five months. A middle-level executive at an ad agency, he was among the first to join an online trading site in 2000.

He  was a  sporadic  investor  all through the lean market years, going  online probably once in three months to check his portfolio.

But now, with the markets riding high, he goes online almost daily and churns his portfolio at least once a week.
