Staying current between jobs

Hi guys,

I am currently making the transition into equity analysis and I am still working on a few opportunities before making a final decision. However, in the mean time, I would like to run my day as if I am already employed (at least close to it). Do you have any ideas/strategy for doing this? What should I be reading/paying attention to? Would it be better to focus on a certain sector in depth or focus on the general market? What publications/indices/books do you think I should be paying attention to?

Your help would be greatly appreciated. My ultimate goal is to structure my day in a way that will make the transition as painless as possible and so that I can really hit the ground running.

Thanks.

Ya, keep up with news and start going to bed and waking up at a normal hour that way you wont be dragging your first couple of days. Start reading some S&P industry reports on whatever area you will be covering and looking at some of the leading firms in those industries. Enjoy yourself, life will suck soon enough.
