On the nail as always. I had a business partner a year or two back, they are meant to stimulate action out of accountability, yet I couldn't get his ass out of the rabbit hole. He was a persistent, addicted researcher, with the sole outcomeof ego for a 'man who knows', yet he didn't earn a penny out of it all so move on, turn rabbit holes into cauldrons of cash and as you say, get the balance right or its all just worthless!
Excellent read! One thing I keep telling myself is to take ACTION on what I learn each week... I don't always do it, but I truly want to make it a habit because I know it will benefit ME and OTHERS that I share that knowledge with.
Research will always pay, may be not by itself, but in every facet of our life especially in business. When I send out my newsletter, some people would ask how do you get the time, I keep telling them your wasted time is what I use. Nice piece. Will have to focus more on investigating on research as part of my investment strategy
Tim, I'm into stocks and have good news: Deep research can be focused (and accelerated) in the stock market. My investment philosophy is built on following what big boys like BlackRock are doing. When they accumulate a specific asset, certain trendline patterns appear in the stock chart. You typically need a few weeks of data to see those setups, plus a few leading indicators that confirm accumulation is underway.
The above means I begin my research by doing technical analysis. When I spot something interesting, I study the fundamentals of a company. This saves me time as I only focus on the companies that have institutional interest. And initial technical analysis takes a few minutes for a stock.
One of my favourite posts of yours revealing this unexpected secret, Tim. I can truly inahine how it can destroy the researcher when they stumble on something deeper and deeper into a psychological danger zone. Prefer the enriching or monetising side…
Hi Tim. I agree that doing deep research is an important skill that builds our wealth. Your post makes me remember when I was a junior software engineer, I do deep research so much because I want to enhance my skills faster and better everyday.
Great read, doing deep research and just putting in the work is pretty much basic advice to gain expertise for any subject, but nobody does it.

Hey Tim! I enjoyed your article...
Researching is something I enjoy so much.
I don't live from writing, but I enjoy writing, and I've found that writing and thinking are tightly related (as many of us know).
Researching, on the other hand, is all about "gluing," thinking, writing, and, as you mention, acting and reacting!
Acting on our research is the culmination of an effort that is convertible to profit.

It's amazing how a nerdy skill like research can lead to such incredible success. I guess it pays to know more than others. Great read!

Thank you Tim! I needed to read your article to wake me up and into action!
Thanks Tim!

I had the same dream for music but I ended up writing on Substack haha.
One publication that has made a huge difference to the way I see the world of investing is FFTT tree rings report by Luke Gromen
