Message Name: Modeling?
Date Posted: 05/24/2000
Message: I am interested in equity research and know that financial modeling skills are important. What is modeling, exactly? Is it just putting a projected balance sheet, statement of income, etc.. into Excel? I've been told if I am able to go into a bank and present them with a model I have done on a company, that will be a big plus. Where do I come up with these projections? Any textbooks, CD-ROMs you might recommend to learn this stuff? thanks. Matt
