With all the excitement surrounding robo-advisors and automated investing advice, it’s easy to forget that there are people out there who still prefer to manage their own investments. It’s a sizable group, too. According to Statista, there are 14 million people living in U.S. households that used an online investing/stock trading service within the past 12 months. That number has grown 20% since the spring of 2008. Just as recent technological advances by startups like Wealthfront and Betterment have enabled the automation of basic asset allocation, do-it-yourself investors have also been privy to a significant upgrade in the tools they use to pick stocks.
