Master Essay

Hi guys,

First of all, thank you for your valuable posts and information that can be found on this site.

To finish my Master's degree and continue my career I must produce the famous "Essay" of 100 pages on a financial subject related to my career (Investment side / AM equities)

I wanted to know which subject for you makes the most sense, which is the most interesting and which has somes resources on it:

Impacts of the increase in HFT/quant shops to the various financial markets

or

Mispricing phenomena and Arbitrage limits

Thank you in advance and good luck to you.

Thomas
