I've worked in IB & PE. Now I run a hedge fund.
So I'm pretty qualified in knowing what good analysis looks like.
One key thing I've learnt in my career is that you *have* to enjoy reading equity research so you don't get burnt out.
But naturally, only a few firms/people are talented enough to put out truly enjoyable, digestable research.
Some of them are hiding in plain sight, right here on @X

So with that, here's a non-exhaustive list of people on @X I look forward to reading on a daily basis, in the hopes that some of you will too (if you're not already!)
In no particular order:

$SPY $SPX $ES - My 2026 eoy roadmap/prediction. January starts out choppy (Vol up + Mrkt Up) but mostly we spin our wheels into Feb. With lows tested we grind up to a new ATH into May - where you sell and go away into a 14%ish drawdown - and all da bears come out calling for the gap below to fill (it doesn't) and we start a 2nd 1/2 rally (FOMO kicks in around midterms) ending the year up 15%ish -7853
@SteepGreeks Thank you so much. and a technical question, when doing the calculation, should I add every gamma on the same strike and every expiry date to and add all the data for each strike? Even it's just for 0DTE trading?
In the context of the extreme US stock market concentration, it's interesting that historically, the dominant companies have continued to deliver good absolute returns but typically underperform the market longer term
