Genuine question. Are there people here who have been investing for years, analyze companies pretty deeply, and have a process that works reasonably well, but still do not spend much time reading 10-Ks / 10-Qs directly?
I do not mean people who skip research. I mean investors who still do plenty of work but do not rely much on filings, or only check them selectively.
If that is you, I would be curious:
- what your process looks like * what you use instead of filings * where you think that approach works fine * and where it clearly breaks down
