Research is something everyone stresses, but it is something I struggle with and I would really like to see more advice on it. Advice on parsing the data I get rather than more data.

Now I've gotten into the habit of only looking at directors statements on their annual reports when I need to research a company. I get so little from the rest of their website, I can spend hours and not understand anything more than the names of their products/services. I have the distinct impression that coding teaches me to only believe what is stated, whereas parsing marketing text is all about reading the lines, which I am terrible at.
