您不必成为一名火箭科学家就可以成为一名优秀的股票分析师，但这不会受到伤害。只是问伊曼纽尔·高盛。After graduating in 1962 from the University of California at Berkeley with a master’s degree in physics, Goldman worked as a theoretical nuclear physicist at General Electric Co.’s Atomic Power Equipment Division in San Jose, California, and then at General Research Corp. in Denville, New Jersey. In 1971, with three small children to raise, Goldman set his sights on the business world. He took night classes for two years while still working full-time and snagged his MBA at Fairleigh Dickinson University in 1973. Armed with his new degree and 100 printed resumes, Goldman began looking for his next career. Serendipity played a part in his landing in securities research. “Life is full of ‘what the hells,’” believes Goldman, 73. Answering an ad in the Wall Street Journal for a position in back-office operations at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. — he had no idea what the job entailed — brought him to New York–based recruiting firm Russell Reynolds Associates and an interview with Sandy Bernstein himself. “I was hired at the top of the market in 1973,” recalls Goldman, who was assigned to cover the brewing industry. The following year he debuted on the All-America Research Team as a runner-up in Beverages. Over the course of his career as an analyst working out of San Francisco, he moved to Montgomery Securities, Paine Webber, Merrill Lynch and ING Barings; expanded his coverage to include tobacco companies; and continued to be voted onto the team, amassing 37 appearances — including 15 first-place finishes — in Beverages and Tobacco, through 1998. Goldman believes that his communication and relationship-building skills were critical to his success. “As a physicist there’s no payoff for developing relationships — you’re just talking to other physicists,” he notes. But an analyst must foster alliances with many constituencies: money managers, suppliers, company managements and the media, among others.
当ING于2001年将其美国业务出售给ABN Amro时，高盛挂了他的防滑钉。他在2007年退休之前担任顾问，现在声称“是世界上最伟大的孙子拼车手之一”。高盛指出证券分析的薪酬水平，智力挑战和灵活性，仍然相信“这是一项很棒的事。”
