I disagree, A) Industry is key. You need to know the sector first.

I’m a bit confused. I thought the bottom-up approach was more about the economy first, but that might be the top-down method? Maybe I should stick with D) Company.

I feel like we discussed this in class, and it was definitely about analyzing the company before anything else. So, D) Company seems correct.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about looking at the industry first in some practice questions. Could it be A)?

I think the bottom-up approach starts with the company itself, right? So I would go with D) Company.
