A real-world guide to becoming a top-performing equity analyst
Praise for Best Practices for Equity Research Analysts: "Jim
Valentine has taken his decades of experience as a highly
successful security analyst and written an effective and
comprehensive guide to doing the job right. I only wish I had this
book by my side throughout my career." -- Byron R. Wien, Vice
Chairman, Blackstone Advisory Partners LP "Given the fast pace and
high-pressure nature of the markets, analysts don't have the luxury
to make mistakes. James J. Valentine's Best Practices for Equity
Research Analysts should be required reading for all new and
experienced analysts, particularly those who were not lucky enough
to be brought up in the business under a mentor. Valentine can be
that mentor." -- Jami Rubin, Managing Director, Global Investment
Research, Goldman Sachs "Jim's book is an excellent window into the
world of securities research. Very few works cover the complete
life cycle of an analyst and the necessary balance between theory
and practice. This is one of them." -- Juan-Luis Perez, Global
Director of Research, Morgan Stanley "Valentine's book doesn't
rehash the basics of finance but covers all the nonacademic topics
in terms of how the analysts should manage their time, resources,
data, and contacts in order to come up with the best stock picks.
This book is required reading for beginning analysts and a
must-read for all analysts who want to develop an edge." -- Carl
Schweser, Founder of Schweser's Study Program for the CFA Exam
"Best Practices for Equity Research Analysts is by far the best
written and most comprehensive book that I have read on how to
become a top-notch analyst. I shouldn't be surprised; it was
written by one of the best analysts that Wall Street has ever seen.
Every securities firm should require their analysts to read this
book." -- Eli Salzmann, Portfolio Manager Most equity research
analysts learn their trade on the job by apprenticing under a
senior analyst. However, equity analysts who work for senior
producers often have little time or incentive to train new hires,
and those who do have the time may not have research skills worth
emulating. Now, Best Practices for Equity Research Analysts offers
promising equity research analysts a practical curriculum for
mastering their profession. James J. Valentine, a former Morgan
Stanley analyst, explains everything today's competitive analyst
needs to know, providing practical training materials for buyand
sell-side research analysis in the United States and globally.
Conveniently organized for use as a learning tool and everyday
reference on the job, Best Practices for Equity Research Analysts
covers the five primary areas of the equity research analyst's
role: Identifying and monitoring critical factors Creating and
updating financial forecasts Deriving price targets or a range of
targets Making stock recommendations Communicating stock ideas
Expanding upon material covered in undergraduate courses but
written specifically to help you perform in the real world, this
authoritative book gives you access to the wisdom and expertise of
leading professionals in the field. You'll learn best practices for
setting up an information hub, influencing others, identifying the
critical factors and information sources for better forecasting,
creating a better set of financial forecast scenarios, improving
valuation and stock-picking techniques, communicating your message
effectively, making ethical decisions, and more. Without Best
Practices for Equity Research Analysts, you're just treading water
in the sink-or-swim world of the equity analyst.
At the start of a surreal and violent journey through a tropical
hellscape, a young amnesiac named Chimp is mentored by a doctor
claiming to have found him washed up on the shore of his private
island. In order to keep the boy alive, Dr. Igloo explains that he
had to affix a sensory-enhancing organism, known only as the Suit,
to Chimp's broken body. However, as Chimp progresses through the
beautifully nightmarish Anguilla Ocean, he discovers that this
scientifically-engineered symbiote is actually binding to his
nervous system, and taking a heavy toll on his sanity. Questing to
rekindle his memories and find his way back home, Chimp begins
unraveling the secrets of the historically-enigmatic Anguilla
Ocean, along with the stagnant packs of humanity trapped across its
many islands.
This is the third volume in the "Chez Vicalle series." The original
story line continues, but this volume is built around an
idiosyncratic motion picture maker who has decided to bring to the
screen a classic work of that author (1879-1958) who Jack Woodford
(1893-1971) once described "As the greatest writer of fantasy still
undiscovered by the Wise Men of the West." He noted further that
that writer was "probably the least commercial writer in the United
States of his time and was a marvelous model for any writer because
of his adeptness in using the exact phrase."

The Adventure Ends.
In the third millennium, Jules is suddenly very popular, for
reasons he doesn't really understand. He should be happy, but all
he can think about is Theo. Are Jules and Gen ever going to see him
again? Meanwhile, in the fifteenth billennium, Quincy Carter One
has disappeared after the world witnessed his aborted attempt to
undermine the entire structure of Time. Not only that, TimeJumping
has been all but outlawed on the Two Planets. And Theo can't stop
worrying about Jules and Gen -- and what Quincy may be planning,
wherever (or whenever) he is. It's the thrilling conclusion of the
TimeJumpers trilogy, and no one knows what's going to happen next.
Or before. But that's what happens when you start fooling around
with time.
The Adventure Continues....
Rule One of TimeJumping was broken, but luckily disaster has
been averted (at least for now), and Jules, Gen, and Theo are back.
Their first adventure had them whisking through Time, talking to
coats, and just managing to save Theo's life -- but that was just a
warm-up. In the second chapter of the mind-bending TimeJumpers
series, Jules and Gen (finally) go on a date, Theo turns out to be
the biggest celebrity anyone in the year Fourteen Billion and
Seventy-Three has ever seen, and we meet a peculiar and very
irritating old man who has the strange idea that the entire history
of the world is about to be overturned -- and somehow Jules and Gen
are involved. And that's just the beginning. There are sinister
forces at work, and Rule One is not just going to be broken, it's
going to be smashed apart.
With this stunning collection of images of the Southern
Appalachians, James Valentine presents an enduring portrait of the
region's unique natural character. His compelling photographs of
ancient mountains, old-growth forests, rare plants, and powerful
waterways reveal the Appalachians' rich scenic beauty, while Chris
Bolgiano's interpretive text and captions tell the story of its
natural history. Over four decades, Valentine has hiked hundreds of
miles across mountainous parts of Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina,
North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia to
photograph some of the last remnants of original forest. These
scarce and scattered old-growth stands are the most biologically
diverse temperate forests in the world. By sharing these remaining
pristine wild places with us, Valentine and Bolgiano show that
understanding these mountains and their extraordinary biodiversity
is vital to maintaining the healthy environment that sustains all
life. Featuring an introduction by the late, longtime
conservationist Robert Zahner and a foreword by William Meadows,
president of The Wilderness Society, this visually entrancing and
verbally engaging book celebrates the vibrant life of Southern
Appalachian forests. |Valentine and Bolgiano show readers some of
the remaining pristine wild places in the Southern Appalachians,
emphasizing that understanding these mountains and their
extraordinary biodiversity is vital to maintaining the healthy
environment that sustains all life. This visually entrancing and
verbally engaging book celebrates the vibrant life of Southern
Appalachian forests. 10 x 14, features 136 color illustrations.

The Adventure Begins.... When Theodore Pine Four suddenly appears
in the bedroom of Genevieve Corrigan just as her friend Jules
Santorini is about to ask her out on a date, the only thing they
can all agree on is that it is highly unordinary. Things get even
more complicated when we find out that Theo is a teenager from the
year Fourteen Billion and Seventy-Three with multicolored hair, a
talking coat, and the hottest new time machine on the market: the
TimeMaster JumpMan Pro. And little do they know that this chance
encounter is going to kick-start an epic adventure -- one that will
take Jules, Gen, and Theo through history, from the Big Bang all
the way up to 14,000,000,073 and everywhere in between. Along the
way, our heroes are going to have to figure out how to get Theo and
his malfunctioning time machine back home without undoing the
fabric of time itself. And, if he's lucky, Jules might just manage
to ask Gen on that date.
