Within more than a quarter century-long experience, I worked as a stock dealer, forex dealer, fx options market maker, futures broker, and commodity trading advisor.Since early 1990s, I have never stopped educating myself. After finishing BA degree in banking and finance, I studied MBA in Management, MS Investment Management, and PhD in Management. Educqtion nevervstops! I look forward to studying for CAIA and CFA certificates both of which are as valuable as PhD.I believe the success of a financial analyst and economist requires not only sound theoretical knowledge but also programming skills and econometrics. So I continuously learn and improve myself. I advise you do the same if you want to be competitive in the next 10 years and beyond.I like teaching finance at universities and showing that it is fun to learn and practice money management skills.
