Hello again Jason,

Seems to be pretty much the same in most countries; but I was wondering though, since you have written one book already, why don't you write a small guide on actually conducting equity analysis and report making.

A guide that describes the routine steps in data collection, an overview of the modelling involved, assimilating the all information and making sense out of it, making a connection between the company's intangible, qualitative information and its quantified data, and so on; in some ways an extension of this very excellent article of yours.

And here are some links you can add to help aspiring analyst with their interviews (some of these links also have sample answers for their questions except for the LBS link)
