Hi David,

I have recently visited your website and am enjoying the videos on the stock and forex market, thank you! I saw your email address on the website and while I know you are probably very busy, I was hoping you might have time for a question. I am wondering how you would advise someone who would like to learn, work in, and invest in the financial markets? I am 26 years old living in Washington and plan on starting an MBA program this year. I am becoming increasingly interested in learning as much as possible about the financial world, and would like to eventually find some employment in this field and learn about how one can invest wisely and successfully. What are the better books to read, websites to visit, magazines to subscribe to, people to interact with, and how does one focus their studies with all of the information that is available?

Thank you again for the great website and videos. I am sorry if my questions are too broad, but in brief, I am just wondering what a beginner needs to do in familiarizing himself with the financial/economic world, while zeroing in on the financial markets, and eventually finding the right kind of employment in this field.

Thanks again!
