Anyone have Primers?

Thanks!

I'm trying to get to understand a few industries outside of my own world, just for general knowledge. And I just learned that WSO used to have a huge bank of industry primers - but it was closed last year. Since I'm late to the game I guess I'll have to re-invent the wheel. Would anyone have a list of the filenames so I could get Googling?

I've got a lot of material on energy (Oil&gas) and building materials, if anyone is interested. Happy to answer questions on the heavy materials industry too - I work in M&A for an industry major.

I would love a link as well - I'm new and trying to break in.

Hi,

If you have the links, I'd be very grateful if you could PM them to me too. :)

I'd be interested. Silver bananas in return.

I'm quite interested as well in those links if anybody still has them. Silver bananas will be given.

I can't send PMs unfortunately (too few banana points), but if you want to PM me I think I can reply to you. There are about 170 files now on a Dropbox - thanks all who contributed! Anyone that can add something new is welcome to share it all. Then I'll close it down in a couple of days.

Just a thought - why not put them into your public dropbox folder, then post the link(s)? Much quicker and less hassle than having a hundred people messaging you for the same thing (remember that ER interview quiz thread a while back?)

If anyone has great resource websites feel free to post them.

Another beneficial approach is calling up IR departments and ask for a buy-side packages and industry information they may be able to provide you with. (Sometimes you may have to fib a little and propose you own/work for a boutique firm and are interested in becoming a substantial shareholder.)
