Is there any university that offers graduate degree that includes stock trading?

Well, trading in my book is managing risk, not being a button pushing execution chimp. Neither IB jobs nor private equity jobs reach the same salary potential of a trader that manages his bank or hedge fund risk, at least not until MD level.

Probably depends on what definition of trading you're using. If you're talking about the guys on trading desks, that's pretty far down the totem pole compared to the people putting together structured products for clients that they then send down to the trading desks to execute, for example. And of course anything buy-side that includes carry is going to almost always going to be a better salary and upside than trading.

If you're talking sales....if you can sell you can make big bucks pretty much anywhere, and absolutely you'd be wasting your talents doing pretty much anything else. Of course if you can really sell you'd also be wasting your time and talents getting a masters degree of any kind unless it was just for intellectual curiosity, which of course is a more than valid reason to do so.

Never has been taught in academic settings. Most trading success is inborn in a very few, many of the top bank and hedge fund traders have already been winning trading competitions as interns or new grads. Exceptions here are quant oriented trading roles that are rather scientific and systematic/technical in nature. The rest is taught on the job. Most aspects of trading cannot be taught, its generally the market lingo, procedures and systems... basically the tools that are taught. You can't teach someone, who is trigger shy on one hand or a cowboy on the other hand, successful trading.

If there was one method of trading that was successful enough to be taught in an academic setting...how would it still work? Everyone would be doing it.

I think Trump university may have two courses in its business masters program. One covers fibbonacci retracements and the other is entirely devoted to buying bottoms and selling tops. Pretty awesome if you ask me.

Trump University? masters program? Is this a joke? I thought this was shut down years ago. This was not a University - no degree, no grades. Class action lawsuits etc etc

Actually, any business. Arithmetic and proper execution can go a long way.

The Best School there is:

University of Life, College of Hard Knocks, Major in Where the Rubber meets the Road, Minor in Philosophy as one does their sabbatical in the Dunning Kruger Retreat Center.
After time in Chapel Perilous on the edge of the Abyss then begin writing a best seller on Fresh Start - How to make a Fortune, Secret to Quant Success - Get Knocked Down x times Get Up x+1

Life experience is the only path to unshakable confidence in whatever endeavor one undertakes.

Money comes and goes, it’s a flow.

Dream Big, Fail Forward and keep a sense of Humor and associate with high quality people while you give your time, energy and resources to worthy causes you value that leave the world a better place with an even brighter equitable future for all.

There’s only one earth and we’re all in this together.

All this is stuff you will not learn in academia, no matter how prestigious. Knowing how to recognize relative value gives one more freedom than any sole profession. Only experience will teach this to a point that you know it in your bones.

On a more practical note, travel. Learn the language, explore culture. Get in touch with your heart and spirit.
