Hello, everyone! I need a list of forums based on education in finance issues. I'm taking the class which is called: "Financia Markets and Institutions" (FINA321) and I need help from those forums, particularly, a feedback on assignments or even solving it, or give me some concepts and ideas about it.

Thanks!

well i'm also doing the the same subjec but i guess the ID of the course is bit diffrent here but. i'm sure the topics in the subject would be the samel.. well if you fidn any one.. please do inform me. well usally i take help by searching on google. wikipedia.com is also not bad to get information. yahoo anwser is also good to know and to take help why dont you start a forum. i'll must join you.. i bet there will be many how are looking for the same.

One way or the other he can and may write over here and any members that have some experience with financial things and economy in general would be certainly more then happy to help him.

One way or the other this forum might in fact be all you need just wait some time for the reply.

i think there are few persons here who are studing finance. so i guess it seems impossible that some new used would come here to reply the post because they will think it's a hosting site forum so they might not get the answer or help so making a new forum is better idea for it.

Yep. I will write over here some problems to be solved if anyone can help me, after my studies. I need to get a full credit on this assignment due to the fact that I screwed up my first exam. Please, who can help, or just give the ideas or opinions. I might help as well.

Here is an assignment to be solved. I will really appreciate if anybody can do it!

So, anyone just solve the questions you know! Good practice for you as well!

All right, I am solving myself! Do you need answers for that assignment that may serve as a future reference in the future. By the way, I asked my friend to give it to his dad, because his dad is an accountant and probably he knows how to solve it?!

I doubt that this forum is for discussing educational related stuff here but I think that you should work on these assignmets yourself. It will help in a better understanding of the matter you are covering.
