Who the hell cares about leveraged derivitives anymore???
I wrapped up a banking course in early June. My prof was an old-timer in retirement (and one of Milton Friedman's advisees at the University of Chicago way back when) who still teaches during the summer for fun and for profit. We used Cecchetti's money and banking textbook (link), which is fairly good.
Plus I have about twenty-something months experience as a teller and technology intern at two different financial institutions, including a very large credit union. And, my dad is a portfolio manager (go figure).
