I think that building a portfolio of individual stocks is a poor investment strategy for an individual. Even seasoned professionals fail to beat the market (net of fees) on a consistent basis. In my understanding, learning fiscal rules, sound budgeting and ETF are the way to go.
Found this and did some research on Motley fool. Will try them out and see what happens.

PLTR / JD / BIDU / all cheap and will grow strong safe bets always.pays.off thank me next year
It's too late to get into Bitcoin and make a big profit unless you're willing to invest massive amounts of money.
I've bought some DOGE and Safemoon for fun - also hold some ADA and ETH.
I got in in november when it was $18,000 and sold at $53,000 as it is speculative I put only $10,000 and made roughly 200% ($20,000) in 3 months.
I regret not having chose ethereum which did even better (600%, from $500 to $3,500). Maybe next time... on a dip or a strong push upward. now it is pretty flat and it may take any direction.
I did it through the stock exchange QBTC on the TSX. Easier and safer than buying the coin itself. Below a 7 month graph of the Bitcoin value in US$.

MARA, Marathon Holding is one I am watching. Not clear which way it will take. My guess is it is pulling back. Only bet money you can lose.
A strategy I like, if you want to speculate, determine the total amount you are willing to bet. Put 25% now when it goes 15% up or down put and other 25% and so on.
As you can see, MARA was $2,20 early november, is now $31 in may. It's max was $56, 1 month ago... Very volatile. never buy on a peak as it goes up and down, weeks after weeks.

On long term you are probably right if you do not manage and do your due diligence. But on short term, going with the momentum is paying a lot. By instance, energy stocks that were a slump for the last years are going upward big time as oil price is going up. The banks did very well since the march crash and will even do better when interest rate will go up. I'm making big bucks with my forestry stocks since the price of wood is at a all time high big time. Up to november 2019, I did like you suggest. But fearing a correction, not a COVID crash, I sold about 30% of my stocks (in diversified funds) and kept it in cash. 6 months later, after the big 30% dip I went back in the market and made very well. Now I manage 80% of my portfolio. But I put on a lot of reading and studying to choose the right stocks. A good company is not necessarily a good stock and the reverse is also true. I expect to actively manage my portfolio for 1-2 years. Gradually I will come back to the strategy you described for 50% of my portfolio or maybe more. It also depends where you are on your life, age, financial situation, personal choices and interest, how much time you can dedicate to study economy, etc.
March 19 2020 I bought Husky at $2 something and now it is over $9. Advice from a friend who put $50 k in it.
Speculative: Air Canada, Cineplex, New Found Gold, Shopify
Slow and steady, with a drip of dividends - buy these and you won't have to panic about each drop of the market.
SRU - they own the real estate that Walmart Canada operates on.
BNS - Bank of Nova Scotia - one of the best banks in Canada.
T - Telus - basically part of a monopoly
CTC - Canadian Tire
BAM - Brookfield Asset Mgmt
MG - Magna
CP - railways - no worries about startup competition

Hello to everybody. I'm looking for some extra income. Before starting buying and selling stock, I would like to learn how it works, which kind of book to buy in order to learn about the trade, which kind of stock to buy and how to make profits or maximize it. Anyone willing to help and give me advice is greatly welcome. If you know anyone in this kind of business please let me know or introduce me to the concern person.
The most important is to find a mentor.
Sorry for my English and also not a hobbyist.

If you're new to buying stocks, imo its good to start reading The Intelligent Investor or similar beginner books to understand the overall market, then check out "How to Day Trade for a Living", "Volume Price Analysis" by Anna Couling, and "Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas (free on Youtube).
I listen to a podcast called PGIR Pennies Going In Raw, this is geared towards swing traders or anyone interested in making significant gains in short period of time.
AMC... une bonne façon de tout perdre. 100% spéculatif, 0% rationnel. Sérieusement, si tu veux apprendre, un excellent site éducatif en français; https://bourse101.com/apprendre-la-bourse/
Beaucoup d'information de base, sous forme de vidéos et à mesure que tu avances, tu apprendras beaucoup. Il y a une trentaine de videos gratuits. Si tu le fais sérieusement, tu feras des progrès rapidement. Si tu te débrouilles en anglais, abonne-toi à BNNBlomberg. C'est un poste de Toronto. On n'y traite que d'économie et de la bourse. Mon émission préférée, Market Call. You can also watch their shows here: https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/ Une fonction très utile, tu entre la cote d'une action ou le nom de la compagnie et tu peux suivre sa performance du jour ou passée. Si tu descends un peu sur la page, tu verras différents analystes commenter cette action.
exemple: AC:CT Air Canada

@Skyrocket:
This book is a solid overview of all the investment financial research :
This book is a solid overview of Quebec fiscal rules, which (on the long run) is almost more important than you investments :
If you are a ''youtube'' person I would recommend this channel :

If you want to try doing this for yourself buy "The Intelligent Investor " by Benjamin Graham (Warren Buffet's mentor ) I am a stockbroker and have read that book probably 6 times and always glean something out of each read. It's a heavy read but worth it in the long run.
Je comprends tout ce que tu dis et je l’applique. Par contre en ce moment il faut voir que ça change et que ça va dans une direction qui est très différente. Amc acheté à 5$ rendu à 55$…. J’ai même déjà récupéré après avoir doublé la mise initiale et le reste est plusieurs milliers de plis.
Et celui qui l'a acheté à $55, il lui arrivera quoi? Bravo d'avoir eut le flair d'acheter à $5. J'ai aussi eu la chance d'acheter du BB à $6 en décembre et j'étais bien content de le revendre 1mois plus tard à $25, il n'y avait aucun rationnel pour que ce stock monte si vite, 300% en 6 semaines... Évidemment c'est du gambling et non de l'investissement rendu là. Ci-bas, le titre de Blackberry sur les derniers 6 mois.
Début 2020, avant COVID, AMC voulait acheter Cineplex (CGX). CGX est monté à $33. Après COVID, AMC a retiré son offre, évidemment. J'ai acheté CGX à $5, il est remonté à $16 de façon graduelle et je crois qu'il pourrait aller à $20-25 avec les réouvertures. Évidemment si AMC voulait de nouveau acheter cineplex, Bingo! Bonne chance!
Une chance que je suis mon portefolio quotidiennement.
