I'm a junior at Bentley College majoring in Economics-Finance and minoring in both International Economics and Sociology of Globalization. This spring semester I'm seeking recognition for my student organization - The Globalization Society at Bentley College. Aside from academia, I'm very interested in the capital markets. I'm currently managing a portfolio with approximately $60,000 in it. I also watch the foreign exchange markets a lot and do a little paper trading there. I'd like to start trading for real soon.
Cheers!
