Gathering information before market and for research

People from sales & trading how do you gather information or generate investment ideas for client pitches?
Do you rely on the news or is it usually in-house research calls or is it a healthy mix of both?

 

as an investment professional, you follow markets and market related news all day, every day, and you become aware of various themes and trends...and how the world slowly changes (imperceptible to many who are not engrossed in this every day).

Professional Investing is not a part time job....you can't "set it and forget it"...you must actively participate, all day, everyday..forever..because the only constant, is change.  After enough time passes, you will start to notice things...a kind of pattern recognition...and that is where trade ideas come from...noticing patterns before everybody else.

just google it...you're welcome
 

This is true. I believe that too. But here is the thing. I have subscription to all major financial news and a ton of sources for research reports. The problem is I have too much information. It's overwhelming. If I read news i don't get time for reports. Is there a routine you follow or some sort of obvious method where you avoid certain reports or news agencies, maybe some sort of focused reading etc.

Note: I am planning to break into S&T and hence trying to practice how much ever I can to make myself relevant when I start.
