Week 10 – Equity, Part 2
The fun continues this week with global industry analysis, country analysis, the business cycle, estimating growth, equity metrics and multiples, global risk premiums, and equity valuation models.
If you hit week 10 and are still on pace with your schedule, then that is a very good sign. Do not let up on the practice problems and start to take your game up a level. If you have been studying 12 hours per week, make the jump to 15 hours per week now.
