Do you ever feel like you are too cautious with investments?

[](https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/?f=flair_name%3A%22Advice%20Request%22)So I think I've read too many threads and articles on "the perfect stock" and now I feel like I am too cautious when it comes to picking a stock or investment route. I spend hours searching for what seems to be the golden egg, and meanwhile, my money sits and does no work for me in growth. What did you do or use to help you create a balance between being cautious, but also not spending hours searching for the "perfect one". Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
