Does anyone actually perform due diligence?


Personally, I’ve been investing for 10+ years, but have never actually done deep due diligence on stocks I chose to invest in.

I use 90% index funds and 10% individual equities now; but I definitely used to be the opposite at some point. I never did any deep analysis into the financials and spent anything that 30 minutes reading recent news articles and maybe a 5yr chart. Probably not smart, but pretty much followed the “invest in companies you know/like.”

If you do perform true due diligence on individual stocks, do you spend hours, days, weeks? Genuinely curious to hear your processes. Also interested in hearing about those that throw darts at dartboard.
