Have a phonecall tomorrow with a head of a research department at a boutique, could say it may be an informal interview, none the less i've never had an interview for research period. Don't really know what kind of questions I should expect.... Any input on this would be appreciated gents!

Just be ready with questions for him. What he does- what a new hire might be needed to do there- what's his story. Be ready to get him talking about the job- if he mentioned one- or better yet, get him talking about himself.
truee thatt!
Any specific thing's I should know in regards to modelling or maybe pitching a stock?
Maybe have one or two stock pitches or strategies- just in case he asks- but don't be too eager to share them. Let him lead the discussion unless it's clear he can't keep it going and then start asking him about himself so you can still make it fun for you and fun for him.
Have a short and long pick ready with justifications, have a particular industry that you want to be long or short and why, be prepared to send him a writing sample too, just in case he asks. I had to submit a writing sample for an ER job so it may or may not happen.
Might ask you some macro questions, where do you think the action is? Why? Most importantly be prepared to back up everything you say because he will dig deeper with a "why do you think that is" when you tell him "X industry" or "X region" should be hot going forward. Have examples and then be able to go pretty deep on those subjects. I think Illini's responses pretty much covered everything else.
Also he might catch you off guard when you tell him, for example, "I think Brazil has a bright future" and then he immediately responds with, "Ok, well if I gave you 20 million dollars to invest in Brazil, what would you do with that money?" Be ready for stuff like that, be well versed in anything you put out there.
Thanks for all the feedback I really appreciate it!
On another note though... when would be the best time to call someone in ER?
Beatae et hic aut itaque ipsa praesentium nemo. Magnam quasi et quis praesentium. Et ducimus facilis excepturi distinctio non perferendis. Sint velit fuga delectus consequatur et exercitationem animi.
