Fixed Income Trading v/s Equity Trading

[Shweta]

If you have to choose between Fixed Income Trading and Equity Trading, which one would you choose ? Why ?

 

[alain]

Choose based on what? If you are talking about size, Fixed income. The equities market is a tiny speck in comparison with the fixed income market.
