What do you guys think about this MBA from Creigthon University?

Master of Business Administration/Master of Security Analysis and Portfolio Management (MBA/MSAPM)
http://www.creighton.edu/fileadmin/u...AMSAPM0809.pdf

Would this add any value to someone who already has experience at trading?

Any comments?

Maybe, although it looks a bit academic.

It depends on what type of trading you're doing. If you're a "value investor" then it might come in handy, but the vast bulk of people on this site trade mainly off price action, for which it adds zero value.

What is the objective, to improve your trading skills, or to make yourself more marketable to a trading organisation?

I believe it's the second one

Well when I worked on a bank trading desk, we generally preferred people WITHOUT MBAs.. they usually had too high an opinion of themselves.

yeah,i think meanreversion is right. some body with MBAS may be very pround of themselves and sometimes do the wrong things.
