>>20973130Before you pick individual stocks, consider your portfolio construction - how much to allocate to stocks, bonds, cash, other assets. If you want to pick an individual stock, read some of the financial statements of the company to get an idea of their strengths and weaknesses. Some consider Price to Earnings (P/E) and other such metrics to be a meme but try to have some justification for why the stock is worth what you are paying for it. In this era of constant computer analysis of earnings releases, story-based thesis can still be powerful especially for mid-caps and smaller.
Above all, have a plan for what you'll do in a crash. Otherwise you'll panic sell at the bottom and picrel will get all your gains.
