Hey Jason,

I have just completed my bachelors in Economics & Finance from University of Strathclyde,Glasgow in around November 2014. I also have some experience in this sector as I was working as an intern in a Stock Broking Firm in India as a Junior Research Intern. I have enrolled myself in for CFA Level1 Examination this June 2015.
Now I used to basically use relative valuation methods like Price to Earnings and others as my major tool for valuations and am not very sure whether this is the right Valuation method to value stocks.
I also have very limited knowledge about Financial Modeling and next to that have no clue about Analytics or Analytics based softwares. I would like to know whether having a good set of skills in analytics do help in Equity Research and if yes then how . Also which Analytics Programme or Software is the most relevant or considered for in Equity Research Industry.
Further how should I develop my Financial Modeling skills apart from doing a Financial Modeling Course.Any particular course/books or anything I could gain skills from.
I have been applying for entry level positions in Companies in India for the past 6 months and haven't had any success yet though I have not given up.
Any advice in this matter would be very helpful.

Thanks
Raghav
