Does this (fictional) international finance scenario I'm writing make sense? If not, how can I tweak it so it's more accurate? (Bond traders, investment bankers, or economy-buffs, feel free to chip in!) I have a very limited understanding of global business finance but need to have a minor part of a story I'm working on involve an element of this. (see related question) So I've figured out that the character is a managing director of emerging markets for a JP Morgan-type multinational firm. In this particular scenario, (which takes place a couple months before Argentina's 2001 economic crisis,) she has to convince an Argentine businessman or government official (not sure what his title would be, feel free to chip in) to allow her American JP Morgan-ish firm to broker the sale of Argentinean securities and/or bonds. Yet when their economy falls apart, she loses her deal and/or gets shafted because no one wants to do business with Argentina anymore by that point in their crisis.

I'm looking to become a trader in Canada, and need some ideas on how to go about it... I'm just finishing my final year in the Business Admin / Finance program at Sheridan College (www.sheridaninstitute.ca) and have already completed the first of two exams required for the Canadian Securities Course. I will be done the second exam at roughly the same time I finish my program at Sheridan. And with the CSC, it will be fairly easy for me to secure a job with any number of Canadian banks in a retail branch location doing sales work. But I want to become a trader in Toronto, and am not entirely sure what it'll take to go about it.
