financial questions about the 70s

Do you see a lot of bots giving financial advice?

How many of you go through financial statements of companies you are looking to invest in?
Curious how people approach this in general, and that's what sparked my post here. Do you read through 10-Ks and quarterly reports before pulling the trigger, or do you mostly go off news, gut feeling, and general sentiment? And if you do read them, do you find it straightforward or …

Is FTSE more trustworthy than USA indexes such as NASDAQ and S&P now?
Unpredictable decisions of Trump made me lose my trust for the USA indexes. Considering how FTSE is outperformed S&P for the last year is making me think that there may be a shift in power. I’m looking for a safe index that is consistent with low volatility for leverage investing …
