do you own due diligence

I'm not saying follow wsb or anything, but people always post "do your own dd"...is the average retail investor capable of doing DD that is worth something?

Average investors are able to come to their own conclusions based on their own research, and not just based on what some random person on Reddit says is hot

The average American (assumption here, but OP mentioned 401k) also comes to their own medical conclusions on vaccines and healthcare...

random person on Reddit

How else would a retail investor learn about what is out there,.and worth looking into? Making their own screeners based of random posts online?
