    I plan on going into the investment banking profession when I graduate. Ideally I want to work on a trading desk however my second choice would be private wealth management. I know this is a competitive profession so I started trying to go beyond my degree last semester by reading up and self educating myself. So far I've read:

    Benjamin Graham - The Intelligent Investor
    Benjamin Graham - Security Analysis
    Philip A Fisher - Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits
    Weithers - Foreign Exchange a practical guide to the FX market

    I just withdrew John Murphy's Technical Analysis and Steinherr's Derivatives: The Wild Beast of Finance form the library but I just wanted to ask are there any specific areas I should be targeting to read up on for either of those two professions?

    I'd appreciate it if somebody could post this in the Business and Investing forum as I'm not subscribed but I'd understand if you guys would rather not.

    Thanks for the help.

    Best of luck to you! I have three good friends that are/will be doing I-banking, one at Goldman, one at Barclays, and one at Credit Suisse. I thought about it but it wasn't right for me.

    Oh wow, some top banks there. I've applied to internships at all three but I got rejected from Barcap and CS as I'm only a sophomore. Any chance you could forward my question onto them? :D
