Free time before internship

Hey all,

I have about three months until I start my internship for IB. Besides the "have fun" and "enjoy yourself", which trust me I am, any advice on some stuff I should learn? I'm talking anything from technical finance stuff to a random interesting topic. Some ideas:

  • GMAT/CFA exposure

  • Learn how to really invest (Create portfolio, read investing, market, econ books, etc)

  • WSP modules

  • Totally off topic book (Biographies, History, etc)

  • Books that you found useful

Any other ideas? Could be something you read/did that really impacted you or something you think will really help me for my internship. I know I will be trained but I enjoy learning this type of stuff and I have free time. Thanks!
