Select a finance topic or issue from the course or current events. If it is a topic (example, high frequency trading), you will conduct and discuss research (facts). If it is an issue (example, finance is becoming overregulated), you will take a position on the issue and how to manage it. Choosing an issue will gain you 10 extra credit points if the paper is well-written. Get approval from the instructor for your topic or issue before starting your paper.
