- Hi. This is my first posting on this net, and it looks
- like all of you here have a very high mathematical background.
- I am currently a Junior in college, majoring in economics, and
- minoring in math.
- I am wondering if there is someone on this net who is
- working on the financial market( equity, bonds, f/x). I've heard
- that in order to be a top notch analyst, one has to obtain a
- Phd degree in Math, probabily in statistics. Is this true? Could
- someone tell me what kinds of mathematical subjects are useful?
- And is there really a need to go beyond a MBA or a MA?
-
- Thanks in advance.
-
