Industry Analysis

[Mukund_Bubna]

Hi, I am a novice investor and wish to build a career in investing. I’m planning to start my own analysis and build models/excel files in which I can present my case.

My questions are:

1. Where should I start from?
2. What are the tools that can help me progress in this?

Any more suggestions, thoughts and comments are welcome.

Open to all investors in this esteemed forum.
