• Providing real-time opinions on breaking news
• Forecasting dividends
• Evaluating special situations such as mergers and acquisitions and other corporate actions
• Collaborating with derivative traders on investment ideas
• Traveling to company events and conferences as required
• Performing stock valuation analysis
