I started investing in 2016 after college and had enough free time to actively pick stocks, do all of my due diligence, and even build my own financial models. At the time I was just an analyst in my career.
As I've progressed my career to a Manager, I've had less free time and stopped building DCF models since I needed to free up my time and was able to rely on models for analysts at my brokerage.
Generally I've been a buy & hold person with my holdings with me since 2016 – 2020. With one of my stocks about to be acquired, Activision Blizzard, I would either reallocate to my 5 remaining stocks or need to do research on new stocks.
With less free time in life the easiest option is just reallocate to my 5 remaining stocks I know. But any advice from those who are like me that have been busier with their careers and still able to be active stock pickers? I'm guessing in the past I went too deep in the details and need to make some cuts in the level I'm looking at for ex. maybe just focus on the past year the biz has been doing for my due diligence, skim competitors at an even higher level, etc.
This post isn't about being a passive investor and I know most people would go in this route for this situation.
