I recently got interested in equities trading and would like to learn more in a classroom setting. ARe there any short courses in this area as an alternative to MBA? Parang tinatamad na kasi ako mag-ipon at mag-aral ulit for another 2-3 years. Your suggestions are very much welcome :)

equities trading isn't finance.

^ So what is it? Some guys at the other forums told me that knowledge of economics was more useful to technical analysis ...

traders don't do analysis. research analysts do. trading is simply brokerage. really just marketing work.

Trading is a hobby and a in some sense a business since you sell something higher than when you bought it, sometimes sell higher then buy lower later (shorting). Its not finance, if you are an investment banker selling IPO's then that's finance.
