Hello Jade,
I love that idea, it is an excellent suggestion. Portions of this are suggested by the series I did here on The Enterprising Investor entitled, "Skills That Separate You as an Investment Manager." I also cover this territory in my own book, The Intuitive Investor. Also tangent to the question is the material in a forthcoming guide I authored here at CFA Institute, The Investment Idea Generation Guide. Look for it in the next month.
Yours, in service,
Jason
