The other big advantage of doing your own DD is that you will be more comfortable with your investment if it goes down 30%.  I was down almost 40% when it went under 3.00$.  However, because of the great amount of DD that I did, I never panicked (with the exception of looking for more money to buy more).  I had enough info gathered that I knew at this point that I was comfortable with this investment.  I have never had a stock that I can say I have been passionate about.  If you can get to that level where you really feel you are knowlegdeable about your investment, then you will not be swayed by market's up and down. 

All the best of luck to you and if you are not sure where to start your DD, read every news release since last August, go thru the post for the last little while, Anything above 20 thumbs you may want to take a peek at.  Read every post from here on, on this site, do not go on the other site unless you are prepared to read thru post after post of bashing.  On this site you will learn not only about this company, or mining stocks, you will learn about investing in general.
