How Able Are Securities Analysts?

                   

I have reported financial media discussions about the recruiting and training of Wall Street securities analysts. Having graduated in my role as a senior analyst on the Street, I have a few opinions of my own.

                       

I learned how to become an analyst all by myself as my undergraduate degree was PreMed. But I attended graduate school for over three years, evenings, to see what it could further teach me, while working as a senior analyst for a major Wall Street firm.

                                           

I feel a good analyst cannot be taught by rote in a classroom, nor at a fancy Ivy League school. I have been in contact with graduate analysts of all types and backgrounds; the needed ability is ingrained. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
