Today we had an amazing experience. The Innovation academy went to Banco Financiero and got to experience a real day at a bank as a worker as well as a extremely interesting presentation made by the banks CEO.
During this new journey we kept on increasing our knowledge about ETF’s, Mutual Funds and the Stock Market. From my point of view we got to go to the coolest room of the bank, where they check out the stocks and see which stocks they will buy, sell, research or hold. We got to see the huge computers that the bank uses to have a clear view of everything and many other computers used by the different workers from that area. They also had two T.V so they could be informed about the stock market in Peru and the U.S through a different media. |
I learned that being in the trading desk is not easy. You have to be very organized since you have thousands of tabs and programs opened at the same time, you have to be receiving and making calls be it from cell phone, Skype or any other communication system and finally you have limited time since the trading desks open from 9:00am-1:00pm. This means that you have to do a lot in short time. I also was able to realize the importance of news through the different types of media, they are all important! |
