I recognize that you are not trying to be insulting by insisting that people such as me who do this are abnormal. However, you are being insulting.

There's nothing wrong with researching something you're going to invest in. It is a matter of thoroughness, care, attention to detail, and of course interest and available time, rather than normality or the lack thereof.
