This is a question that I am trying to prepare for before I am asked it in an interview:
I have been talking to several friends who have interviewed with big banks, and they have told me that a likely question would be: if given a large sum of money, where would I invest it? Specifically, in which securities, which industries, etc. given the tide of today's markets. I am open to suggestions as to how to answer this, and/or online resources that would be good for investigating this. Either way.
Thanks!

It is more about your reasoning than it is about actually answering the questions "correctly" because nobody can predict the future. Go online to some financial sites, or watch CNBC and you will have plenty of "experts" telling you where they think you should put your money to work right now. Whatever you choose, just do some research and find out WHY you think that way. Have numbers to back it up as well as macroeconomic trends that support your investment proposal.
:) Thanks!
