best resources to learn financial markets/sales and trading?

Hi.

I am a rising junior looking for a summer internship im capital markets or sales and trading divisions.

I am an econ major and cannot take any finance courses. What are the best resources to learn financial markets and trading for my interviews in a few months?? I have been reading vault guides but I dont think this is enough...

Depends, are you looking for more of a quant bent or just general stuff? Mergers & Inquisitions is a good place to get some general info.

If you're looking for more quant-type stuff, Quantnet and Nuclear Phynance are great places to look. Other than that, this really is the best place to find general industry info, along with M&I but you mentioned you've already been through their stuff (which is great).

trade2win.com is one good trading forum. I don't know of any real website that is focused on S&T like this site is focused on IB/PE/HF. This is probably the best place for S&T as well
