		The Life and Times of a Buy Side Analyst   by Rob Goldman     You ever feel like the prettiest girl at the dance? Metaphorically speaking, that is.  Every feel totally overwhelmed by outside and inside forces and yet incredibly scrutinized by those inside as well?  Almost like a vise?   Imagine it's 7:30 AM East Coast time. Because you got into the office so late, there's a good chance that your voicemail is full, even though it was empty the day before.  You have dozens of emails that have just been sent in the past couple of hours - some texts and maybe cell phone messages as well.  You have to head into the morning investment meeting to get a sense of what's happening in the market, along with the stock ideas and various portfolio holdings in the firm's funds and accounts.   You know that the phone will not stop until about 10:30 or 11:00 AM and the emails will pour in endlessly.

It could not be further from the truth. I am one of a rare, lucky breed that has worked on both sides.  Usually, one's make-up is for one and not the other.   To read more click here >> or visit http://www.pennystockjunction.com
