I have a question, I'm considering entering in this competition, but I'm in first year and haven't done a finance subject yet. I don't mind doing a large amount of wide reading for this competition as it would be a good experience, but would this be enough to (at the very least) submit a quality case study submission? Or should I wait until next year? Also, if any of you have done it before, could you tell me what the submission involves, how much work, required knowledge to complete it etc.

Yeah, I do think it might be a little bit too complicated for first years given the amount of assumed knowledge that is neccesary. For a team to be competitive, there needs to be at least one person in the team with a solid understanding of corporate finance, and in first year, that's not possible.

If you've done fins1613, then you have a chance, you can learn the rest as you go.

Yeah, if you done business finance at UNSW, then you'd be aware of the discounted cashflow approach, so you might find some value in applying it in a practical context.

Err yeah i've joined that trading places game, how have people broken 400k already?
+When I look in their current holdings they have more red loss than green profit so they must have bought and sold something that raised at least 5x in value in 24hours??

And how do I 'borrow'?
i.e Person with "Total Borrowing $8,296.793"

yay first day of trading, on 20th place. Stupid thing is that you have live prices but all orders are executed 20mins later.
Mate, I think you're talking about the wrong competition here. The JPMorgan Investment Banking Comp has no trading. You do a case study.

I think you're talking about another competition.
