One option is that you stop picking and researching stocks yourself and you purchase index funds, which track the whole of the market. The idea here is that active decisions can be really good or really bad, and you either have to research them yourself or pay a higher management fee for someone who will actively manage a portfolio. Tracking the market is cheaper, generally performs well but not extraordinarily well over time, and makes everything much more passive. A really good short book that makes these arguments if you’re interested is Tim Hale’s Smarter Investing.
