What profession are you in?

After joining in AF, I have somehow become addicted to it. Its sort of like a home tutor, only that the number of tutors are unlimited. In any case, I think that we could not only help each other in understanding CFA materials but also other practical financial stuff used by analysts. I am working as a Financial Analyst (mostly equity analysis) and I continuously face some problems and some unanswered questions which if solved could help me do my work even better. And I think that some of the guys in AF can easily solve those questions for me. So, to help each other more, why doesnt everybody tell their current professions so that we can ask questions to those with professions same to us.

Asif: The best place to start in bank valuation IMHO is the Call Report and related UBPR: - http://www.ffiec.gov/UBPR.htm - http://www2.fdic.gov/ubpr/UbprReport/SearchEngine/Default.asp Pay specific attention to ROAA, NIM, charge-offs and delinquencies, ALLL levels, and capital levels. All found in the UBPR.
