Just shake it off and do a good job. Can't do anything and apologizing for a suggestion isn't professional.

But you had to realize what you were suggesting. The best quant analysts are in the world out looking at the same stocks as you.

Laudable that you suggested it, but something as simplistic as that no matter how complex the analysis is that an undergrad can do won't make a significant impact.

 

You say this position is in ER at a MM bank. I'm assuming that you're a quant working amongst liberal arts majors? If so, then I don't think his reaction is surprising.

Quick Update: He just attached an excel spread sheet with a massive list of companies to do data entry. The subject title of the email reads "Fun job for you next week!".

Am I finished?

It sounds like he gave you a typical intern assignment, nothing more than that.
