Do you have what it takes to be a good publishing analyst?

Equity Research requires the basic skills - valuation, writing, and communication. 

The good research analysts, however, need to have a critical mind, be inquisitive, and concise. 

Being contrarian, able to identify underlying trends, and capable of telling a good story gives you the edge.

Industry and market knowledge will come with time.
