A source of "good questions" on investment ideas?

Hi everyone:

I feel like one of the keys to understanding investments is to ask good questions; if one is not currently working at a fund, what are some sources of good questions on investments that one can read about?

I know sellside research can vary in quality, are there other forums/channels that one can explore if one isn't currently working at a fund?

Thanks!
