MSB Trading - 2020, page-13368

Research is a full time job for stock pickers...the handling of a portfolio should only take a small amount of time to manage. Main reason is because you did your research and you stand by the decisions you made when investing. All the rest is noise.
Only time things get busy in portfolio's is reporting season, divvy time and share placements...rest should look after itself, although the odd CHESS hiccup is not unheard of. Treat broker reports and stock forums as a piece in the puzzle. Only thing that I have found useful about forums is alerting me to a stock....but its not like I will go straight in and buy it. Time to research and read all the company announcements and history......check out Board members and their track records, see who has skin in the game etc.
MSB was about 6 months from memory doing due diligence before buying in parcels, some for LT and some as a trade parcel, just my approach and all imo. Possibly having some ethical concept in the mix also made for decisions to feel more balanced.
