In doing research, search for what's useful. Be a dirty pragmatist. If the founder is supposed to have died in '07. You learned it from the company minutes. How much time have you been spending on those minutes.
Minutes are quicksand.
You must know what you want from them. Browse a bit, but always for the neat little item. Mainly. minutes keep you from saying something stupid, like having the stock price shoot up in the bull market of '07, seven years before the company went public. Try not to say that sort of thing. Beware the data file mentality.
