Hey guys...so I am currently reading a research note from MS, on Coke.
I got stuck on 3 abbreviations:
LSD MSD HSD
I tried google them, but I don't feel like google gave me what I wanted this time...
What do they mean? What are some sector-specific metrics that are common in research reports?
Thanks a lot.

Research Note in interview (Originally Posted: 03/17/2015)
I was wondering if there are any particular things interviewers look for in a research note in an interview?
Are there somethings to avoid and some things to do?
