I'm a junior in the honors college at Penn State and I'm required to write a thesis for graduation. I'm dual majoring in finance and economics, and I am very interested in the financial markets. I had an internship doing mostly equity and industry research this past summer. Additionally, I'm in an investment club at my school where I'm the lead analyst for energies in our commodities sector, so I'm definitely interested in commodities and the futures markets.
Anyways, I have absolutely no idea what to write my thesis on and was wondering if /biz/ had any ideas or suggestions?
I'd be cheating if I told you

Here you go:
Substitutes for the risk free rate in a valuation perspective. Right now risk free rates are being used which lead to really high valuations and imply low growth rates.
One potential alternative is the long term growth rate of an economy.
