Basic accounting will help heaps :) Let me know how Khan's stuff goes - IIRC, he used to work as a hedge fund analyst (yep, thanks Wikipedia). It'd be interesting to watch his videos :) Bloomberg's analysis tends to be shallow and short-sighted. They'll turn out what's supposed to be a deep piece, but it's almost as if they try to tune out words; there's no rigor in the insight. Nine out of ten times, I'll read an article, consider it for a moment, and find a dozen crucial questions that are unanswered or parts that are outright incorrect. On the other hand, Bloomberg's news service is phenomenal. And Bloomberg is continuously pushing out podcasts (under many titles) that are great for digesting news along with the occasional interesting interview. IB is supposed to be really competitive in the USA, but it would not surprise me if it were more-so in Australia because of a lack of demand. Though the below is factual, take the conclusion with a grain of salt; I'm clearly biased haha. Australia has an excellent public university system that pushes out top graduates, but we don't really have anywhere to go if we want to get into IB (relatively speaking, we're a small but rich country). In my city - Brisbane - we have the University of Queensland and the Queensland University of Technology, both of which have excellent business schools. UQ's MBA is often ranked in the top 50 worldwide. Yet most IBs don't even have an office here - the few we have in Australia is either in Sydney or Melbourne. Don't get me wrong, many graduates from UQ and a few from QUT go into in IB. But they're few and far between and the quantity as a proportion of students makes it seem nigh on impossible.
