I thought I did Intl Finance ... Until



The world of finance continues to amaze me, I am and will always be a marketing guy, but finance is no less fascinating though, When I was in CERAM, in France, macroeconmics interested me more than other subjects like investment banking, or trading strategies or corporate finance. I liked Macroeconomics because it gave me an air of "Know-all" feeling , (maybe because very few people understand it anyway .. ahahahaha... ). The courses like International Finance, also helped form the Base for a broad understanding of International Economics.

Derivatives are another Mind-blowing animals which gave me a hard time, even though I was fascinated by the subject and its scope, I hated the teacher for his high-handed attitude. Anyway more on that later. Futures, options, .... gawd save me...

While trying to understand complex financial instruments in my course at CERAM, the basics had probably been underplayed, Today while trying to understand "Securities Trading" I came across some interesting "Strategies" like Dow Theory, Elliott Wave Theory, another very prudent View was the Multiple Time Frame Trading Strategy. Good readings for the basics if someone is thinking of Trading as a career.

Given the availabilty of time I would like to explore many other areas that I am interested in like macroeconomics, International Global Economics, Currency Crises etc.

Also I am thinking of blogging about my other hobbies/passions like photography, My travels, Martial arts, etc etc... maybe I am trying to put my leg in many areas, maybe I am spreading myself too thin ...

Hope to keep blogging
