Yes, more details about this might be helpful, Madharry.

You say you made two bad mistakes this week, because you didn't do enough dd. By bad mistakes, that would mean you lost money, I presume? So you bought two stocks, they went down in value quickly after the purchases, you looked closer and realized you didn't see the something that would cause the stocks to fall further. Something that you could have anticipated if you had done more dd beforehand? Two stocks both dropping suddenly for a specific reason--- I have to assume you are looking at controversial stocks, maybe trying to catch falling knife type stuff?

One thing is if you post your picks here or maybe on SI's stock-specific threads before or after you buy, and ask for opinions on them, sometimes people will reply and give an insight or observation or additional dd that can influence your decision -- possibly prevent you from incurring losses. Just my experience.
