Hi, I'm equity analyst at a Big 4 and just received an access to Bloomberg.
Do you have recommandations or template to help me build a efficient LaunchPad view?
I'm not going to stick my face to BBG all second of the day because I'll spend more time modeling and researching.
Also, as fundamental equity analyst, what are the main underrated functions that I should be aware of?
Thx much
