Definitely accounting since it teaches you how to handle money and how to read financial reports. In addition an accounting degree is also heavy on finance courses. It doesn't hurt that accounting students get the highest salaries upon graduation than any other business student. More money to invest.

Accounting, Economics and Finance are all good, but, in my honest opinion...none of them will teach you squat about how to invest.
I believe you have to learn that on your own. Listen to what Jim Cramer has to say, read his book, read Investing for Dummy's, check out Motley Fool, Morningstar, MSN Finance, Yahoo Finance. Read everything you can.

Economics and finance and as much knowledge as possible of the business world.
ie. in addition to your studies, start reading WSJ everyday as well as some other periodicals, newsletters.
