I am a future senior in college, majoring in Math and Economics. I am also interested in finance, and this summer working as an intern on the trading floor of a large investment bank. Do you have any ideas of topics for a thesis that would combine my knowledge in these fields? The thesis will be written, though, for my Economics major. How could I use my internship to gather data or get ideas for my thesis?
I would like my thesis to be quantitative and use a lot of data and econometric tools. Perhaps a model or an algorithm… Also, do you know sources such as jornals or articles that would help me get ideas and learn about how to structure and write a thesis?
Yes, the bank is publicly traded.

On the CNBC Sqwakbox Fantasy Portfolio challenge, 48 individuals have more than doubled their money in less than 2 months. 4 people have more than tripled, how the hell do they find holdings with such upside potiential? Do they use a Bloomberg terminal or some high priced/proprietary research tool. I read IBD, use yahoo Finance, watch Bloomberg and CNBC, but can only make 10%-15% a year. What am I missing?

I am 23 years old, a college graduate just starting off my career. No kids or marriage yet. What are the best books, magazines, sites, tools, etc. regarding personal finance at this stage of life? A lot of what I’ve seen seems like good advice yet geared toward people with families, established in careers, and with tons of debt.
