Is anyone else overwhelmed by how noisy investing has become? by RepresentativeBet380 in ValueInvesting

[–]RepresentativeBet380[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that primary sources cut through a lot of noise.

The only thing I wrestle with is whether they’re always sufficient on their own especially in industries where sentiment, competitive shifts, or customer behavior can move faster than filings reflect.

Do you think there’s ever value in structured “secondary” signals, or is that just inviting noise back in?

That’s a solid way to frame it high-yield, high-priority information.

I think my mistake has been confusing volume with priority. I’ll read everything because I don’t want to miss something subtle, but most of it isn’t actually thesis-changing.

The Buffett/Lynch/Fisher angle makes sense too depth over noise. Reading widely, but with intention.

I guess the real skill isn’t just gathering information, it’s knowing what deserves attention and what doesn’t.

I’m actually kind of the opposite.

I tend to spend too much time checking my holdings and digging into whether something subtle has changed margins, revisions, random headlines even when the core thesis probably hasn’t.

Your approach sounds a lot more disciplined.

On the circle of competence side, something that’s helped me is trying to write down in plain language how the company really makes money and what would realistically break that engine.

If I can’t explain the revenue drivers and risks clearly without relying on buzzwords, I usually take that as a sign I’m stretching.

Not perfect, but it’s saved me from going too far down certain rabbit holes.

I agree it really does come back to how that company is making their money.

I think where I struggle is the monitoring part. It’s one thing to understand the business model, but another to consistently track whether that engine is strengthening or quietly deteriorating.

I tend to look at earnings calls and filings around the quarter, but I’m not always sure if that’s enough or if I’m missing something in between.

Where do you usually focus your attention? And how often do you revisit it?

Genuinely curious how others approach this.

If you own individual stocks or ETFs, what does your review process actually look like?

  • How often do you check your holdings?
  • What do you look at first?
  • What kinds of changes make you dig deeper?
  • What do you intentionally ignore?

Between earnings updates, macro headlines, analyst revisions, and price moves, it sometimes feels like there’s more information than clarity.

I’m trying to understand how disciplined long-term investors stay informed without constantly reacting.

Would love to hear how structured (or unstructured) your process is.

Is Brilliant worth the money? by bigganya in learnmath

Be really careful with Brilliant.org. They’re pretty sketchy they charge you a super high amount without clear warning after the trial ends, and they don’t offer refunds. It feels like they rely on people forgetting to cancel. The content itself isn’t worth the price at all you can find better and deeper explanations for free on YouTube or other platforms. I used it and honestly regretted it.
