Did anyone else get into stocks during the meme stock era and then realize later that their research process was mostly momentum, Reddit threads and confirmation bias? I have been trying to build a more repeatable way to look at stocks, but I keep running into the same issue. I can read earnings, scan charts, check sentiment, and still end up believing the thing I already wanted to believe. For people who got better at this, what changed? Did you start using checklists, screeners, AI investing tools, filings, analyst notes, or something else? What helped you stop chasing and learn to troubleshoot your own decision making process?
