SIMM Related

This is a link to an awesome piece done by the New York Times and Dealbook.  It talks about business schools and the growth in popularity of trading rooms, as well as student managed funds.  In the 90's it was extremely rare for schools to have mock trading rooms and student managed funds.  Nowadays, over 200 schools have trading floor simulators. 

The one interview with the managing director from Guggenheim, states the importance of the Bloomberg Terminal for applicants.  With the information given in this article/video it seems as if prior Bloomberg terminal understanding is not just a plus, it is a must.  This is something SIMM has been preaching for the last few semesters.
