Q&A: A day in the life of a buy-side (equity) analyst??

Question by snowking: A day in the life of a buy-side (equity) analyst??
Hi,

I currently work as a corporate financial analyst (budgets, forecasts, etc…), but this is not the career path I would like to take.

The investment side of finance always interested me more, and currently I’m thinking of taking my level 1 CFA.

Since I never worked an investment job before; can somebody explain to me what a day in the life of a buy-side (equity) analyst consits of? I guess from the moment I get there until it’s time to go home? Responsibilities?

Or any other investment type job if you are not a buy-side analyst? (hedge fund, forex, fixed income analyts, investor relations, etc…)

I always liked analyzing the market so I think being a buy-side (equity) analyst is more my style, but I guess it would be nice to see what other investment jobs have to offer as well.

Thank you!!

Where can I download equity option data?

Question by Evan D: Where can I download equity option data?
I would like to find a way to download data on U.S. equity options. For example I would like to download all tickers on the NYSE or NASDAQ with the current price and prices of actively traded options. I would be using this data to help develop options trading strategies.

Best answer:

Answer by A nobody
It ain’t going to happen

Current prices, quotes and market information are reserved for exchange members. The members are the ones that pay to keep the exchange going, provide the activities, and make the prices, therefore they are the only ones that have a right to current exchange information.

Information is provided on delayed basis to vendors who have been approved by the exchanges and to certain websites that have signed contracts with the exchange after they had been approved.

You could apply in writing to the exchanges for obtaining trading activities and security master listings.
You will have to provide a complete detailed business plan including personnel involved the capitalization of your firm; detailed file layouts; file transmissions including equipment; line capabilities; equipment to be used. this will not assure you approval but would let the exchanges know what you are trying to accomplish.
This is not an inexpensive process, with insurance, line cost, and equipment it will be rather costly so you should be prepared to not only deposit money for the project, but also you should anticipate substantial volume or trading capital to make such a project feasible

Investors and Traders Have New Resource to Evaluate Stock Options and Trades with the Launch of Equity Arb

Investors and Traders Have New Resource to Evaluate Stock Options and Trades with the Launch of Equity Arb

Equity Arb – Paul Foster

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) December 9, 2009

Equity Arb, a resource for investors and traders who use information from stock options markets to make more informed trading decisions, announces its recent launch. Founded by industry veteran Paul Foster, Equity Arb cuts through and simplifies the mergers and acquisitions chatter.

“Non-option participants have long understood the power and implications of options such as implied volatility and option volume, even though they may have no interest in trading options. Equity Arb is designed specifically for these non-option investors and traders,” Foster says.

Investors and traders need to understand how mergers and acquisitions affect their stock positions. Equity Arb sends its users pertinent summaries of this information, enabling quick and accurate evaluations such as “99% of this XYZ deal chatter is false,” “50% BBB might be true,” “25% chance of deal possible in next four months” or “full priced deal would be $ 50, sell $ 55 calls.”

Popular option mentor and 22-year CBOE PIT veteran Dan Sheridan has subscribed to Foster’s stock options services for years. Sheridan uses Foster’s trading ideas for his weekly CBOE TV show “Options Safari.”

Equity Arb offers subscriptions to both intra-day and end-of-day messages. The end of day subscription allows usres to receive one summary e-mail after the market closes, featuring all alerts from the trading day. Equity Arb’s intra-day subscription is a more robust offering, in which subscribers receive several messages during the day as the news and markets are developing. On a typical day, intra-day subscribers can expect to receive three e-mail messages during trading hours. People interested in trying out Equity Arb’s service can also sign up to receive one free daily message.

About Equity Arb founder Paul Foster

Paul Foster has worked on the Midwest Stock exchange floor, Board of Trade, CME and on trading desks for more than 20 years. Foster has a proven track record of sending clients option content related to significant stock events since 2004.

Using BAI Guidance, Epiphany Equity Research Realizes 400% Increase in Revenues

(PRWEB) August 1, 2005

Business Advisers Inc. (BAI) today announced the results of an eighteen month engagement with Epiphany Equity Research which includes a 400% increase in revenues for the period. This improvement was made possible through BAI’s development and implementation of a targeted marketing plan.

“We operate in a very competitive space and the comprehensive marketing plan BAI developed and implemented put us front and center in that arena,” said John Hughes, Managing Director of Epiphany Equity Research.

After an initial analysis of the Epiphany business plan and operating model, BAI recommended Epiphany concentrate its marketing and selling efforts upon the lucrative institutional investment segment, downplaying the retail segment. BAI developed a marketing plan with competitive positioning that focused upon one key client requirement: substantial ROI.

BAI implemented the marketing plan working as part of the Epiphany team. They redefined the company brand and created key selling messages. BAI then implemented a comprehensive lead generation program and selling process which leveraged telemarketing, customizable sales collateral materials and improved selling techniques. BAI suggested Epiphany show prospective clients what an Epiphany stock review would look like. Epiphany began providing prospects with comprehensive reviews of prospective client-provided stocks, eliminating the “leap of faith” normally associated with contracting a new technical research partner.

About Business Advisers Inc.

BAI is a multi-national consulting practice with locations throughout the Americas. The firm consists of a hand-selected team of Business Advisers who are expert at helping businesses attain their short and long term goals. Advisers work with clients one- on-one to maximize the potential in their businesses.
