Best Bloomberg Functions to Know

Just graduating school and starting at a fund soon. Have some experience using Bloomberg but want to become more fluid with it before I start. What are the must know commands to know? Any non-trivial ones that are worth knowing? Thanks

Depends on investing strategy/asset class preference but some basic ones I use daily: TOP, WEIF, MOST, FRNT + (more security specific) GP, FA EV, YAS, DES, HDS, CN

 

Mixture of different stuff... I have one screen set up to capture current positions' daily moves + news + events and another with a news feed for macro/watchlist companies, most active securities, index levels, etc.
