Went to an SEC school and now working for MS as a Trading Assistant up north. Does anyone know of any firms with a trading desk down south worth looking into? Raymond James in Memphis for example.

What are you trading?
FI, but interested in commodities. I interviewed with Staplcotn (cotton marketers) my senior year, but decided to move up north.

A lot of the ag companies have ops in the deep south. I know a guy that worked for Gavilon in Vicksburg and a lot of companies also have New Orleans operations. Check out pretty much and ag company and see what they have in the area. That will probably be your best bet. If you want, PM me and I can get you in contact with my buddy who is in ag in Mississippi.
Companies like Genscape (energy research) have offices in Kentucky, Southern in Georgia/Alabama, and Delek in Tennessee come to mind as well. They aren't really trade shops like you are thinking but they offer exposure to comdty's that could help you make the transition. Then of course there is Houston which is the energy trading capital of the US if you wanted to try to get to Texas. That is probably going to be more difficult to break into than ag in the south though.

Trading Floors in the South (Originally Posted: 07/26/2010)
I was wondering if anyone could help me identify which banks have trading floors in the southeast? I would greatly appreciate any help for these cities: Richmond, Charlotte, Atlanta, Nashville, Birmingham, New Orleans, and Mobile. I have been trying for weeks to figure out where any trading floors are in the South and which banks and I would really appreciate it if anyone could either list them or give me some links to where I could find this information.
All I know is that BAML has a huge one in Charlotte.
What desks are down there?
Wells Fargo in Charlotte SunTrust in Atlanta

Morgan Keegan in Atlanta.
Stephens in Little Rock.
