Hi Jason,

I was just doing some browsing and stumbled upon your article, which peaked my interest as I currently work as a research analyst just under 2 years now, having made the switch from the accounting field and always looking for practical advice on how to really develop these skills further. This article was really helpful...especially the bit on intuition. However, apart from this awesome article, I am really impressed with your attitude and the ease and helpfulness with which you responded to each question and comment, even though its almost a year later. Thank you for being so open and helpful. This is what we need in the industry, people who are truly willing to share knowledge and help develop those coming up in the profession. Will be an avid follower of all your articles now. Best wishes to you!
