Hello Komal,

When you say opportunities are you talking about job opportunities or investment opportunities? My advice is that if you are looking for a job opportunity that if you would hire yourself to work as a research analyst then you are probably ready. If you are uncertain that you would hire you then you probably need to do more to learn the things necessary to increase your confidence.

If you are talking investment opportunities my advice would be to do your research analysis and establish how to do that in your mind. Ideally you get to the point where you feel that buying a security requires only one leap of faith on your part, as opposed to many leaps of faith. Newer analysts always want to start investing right away, but honestly if you are not ready then your mistakes will be magnified. It is much better to make mistakes when the stakes - your pride and feelings of ignorance - are so much lower. Do not be too anxious to jump into it.

With smiles,

Jason
