Hello Varun,

Yes, the verbiage is very important to the success of a research report. I am not sure where you live but I would contact a brokerage firm and ask if they would send you a research report. You might try approaching a CFA charterholder and tell them that you would like an example report in order to polish your skills as an analyst. Unfortunately, I no longer have access to such reports as I am no longer working as an investment manager. Also look around on the internet to see if you can find another example of a research report.

As for why I retired at 35 - that story is the story with which I open my book, "The Intuitive Investor." In short, it was because of a deep meditation where I had many important insights, one of which was that I felt there was going to be a global financial crisis and that it would be very difficult to manage money through that environment. Another reason is that I have very diverse interests, including the martial arts, and I wanted to explore some of those things while I was still relatively young.

Thanks for your feedback - I am glad that you found the book list useful.

Best wishes for success to you!

Jason
