First of all, this thing is fucking hideous. I would rather explore the inside of a donkeys ass than have to look at this thing for my than 5 seconds.

Also, provide more color on the details of your positions. I want statistics, hard coded numbers. What projects specific projects did you work on? We all know you "analyzed," but what exactly did you analyze?

Independent investor shouldn't take up more space than any of your actual job experiences. Take the specific equities off there, I feel like this is a stock pitch, not an actual learning experience. What did you learn? How did you learn?

If you want that sort of job you need to highlight experiences (no matter how mundane you think the tasks may be) that indicate that you have experience doing what investment banking analysts do.

Look pretty good, solid format and clear outline of activities. Only thing; it makes you seen like a bit of a finance nerd. If you can add some sports, languages, travel or other non-finance awards/interests and quantify them e.g. business proficient in X languages, travelled to XX countries or placed XX in so and so sports competition it will add value to the CV.

Only thing I might add, is that you have a lot of bullets on your resume that say things like "researched potential investments" or "conducted stock pitches". Did any of your investment ideas ever get implemented? If so, it might be good to say something like "Lead research initiative on $100,000 worth of placed equity investments". Just claiming that you did a bunch of analysis without having any specific numbers or transactions to back it up sometimes looks like BS.
