work experience on resume
Below is a part out of my resume.
I have this as part of my relevant work experience on my resume, i am trying to quantify my work here but I am not sure if the numbers are good enough to mention this way. Am i being too specific? any feedback, suggestions?
am i using too many bullets here?
I am looking at to AM/IM kind of positions.
thanks in Advance.

Quantifying results is great and the first two bullets would probably suffice in showing that you understand this concept. Overall, you are a bit too detailed/specific. Remember, your resume should be just enough of a teaser to get you the interview and then work as a bit of a map for the direction of the interview (at least your first interview with a firm).
For example, instead of listing the companies you recommended in the Financial and Industrial sectors you could just state that you made several key investment recommendations in the Financial and Industrial sectors. You can play with the "key investment" wording a bit to show that they out-performed or were considered successful but leave the actual names off until the interview. Then in the interview you can not only mention the companies but why you chose them. (this will also prevent the interviewer from having the time to build a case about why company ABC isn't a good choice and then drill you on it in the interview)
