I have hubris. But also some self-awareness.
20-50% into broad market indexes. 50-70% into messing around and generic picks.
Of my own picks, only a few have outperformed the s&p50p. Some are… not good. If I happen to find another nvidia I’ll be very happy. If I don’t, I’ll be able to retire at a not unreasonable age.
In other words: Advertising works.
