Default Re: Help - Trading application question - \"recent development in indus

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
how about discussing the implications of the change from pit dominated trading to electronic dominated trading in commodities futures markets?

[/ QUOTE ]

does anyone looking for an entry level job who doesn't trade commodities on his own actually have enough knowledge to discuss this? if you just randomly study this you'll look like a bullshitter on an interview.

yes, it's not an easy question but the bank should have reasonable expectations about the depth of his answer. i was trying to formulate a question that was response to his assignment. I think market questions are hard, too, but may not be responsive to the "describe a recent development in the industry". My interpretation of "...in the industry" means not "...in the market."

It is bad to look like you just spew b.s. - no matter what the question. They gave a very hard assignment.
