A CFP isn’t diligently researching individual growth stocks for high conviction plays for their clients.
Correct. Their job is to make sure you're where you need to be in terms of taxes and estate planning so you don't get screwed over.
While there's no rule that will bat 1.000 there are rules that will result in winning more than losing. For example, look at the PE ratio for a stock and evaluate it in both absolute terms and compared to other companies in the same industry.
Pay attention to the quarterly and yearly financial reports. Are revenues and profits growing, stagnant, or declining?
What is the company's debt compared to total assets? High debt load carries the risk of a company not being able to survive a crisis. I jumped on RCL during the pandemic because they had a low debt load so they had a high likelihood of surviving short term, and since cruisegoers are hardcore fans there would be pent up demand when we got back to normal.

All I’m saying is that I’d be shocked if even 90% of informed investors beat the S&P 500 in the past and moving forward.
I think you are 100% right here. Truly - AI just looks and feels different. I feel it enables more information flow about companies most people would’ve never known about before. It’s all anyone can talk about across the board and the market as a whole moves as AI moves. (Along with war & other macro trends)
I am a massive fan of ETFs. My long term strategy is to pump up my capital base as quick & large as I can during this AI driven market and then retire all the capital to VOO/QQQM and ride it out for the rest of my life. ETFs have been king and always will be.

There are tons of stagnant stocks that far outnumber the ones being posted here

I have some money in those. Those are safer but also less upside. Individual stocks are higher risk and higher ceiling.
And even with individual stocks I have some long term holds and others that I look for a quick flip and score.

I own 7 individual stocks that represent small % of overall portfolio. Been investing for a long time.
An investing goal you might consider is your after tax returns should aim to at least beat inflation and bond returns over long term. There are less risky ways to do this than individual stocks. Individual stocks may still have a role.
Have an objective, time horizon and compartmentalize the money for a specific purpose. This helps define the risk you are willing to take to achieve objective and diversification level you may need to protect your downside in getting there.
If you see stock market with “gold rush” mindset, your future self might be worse for it. Then again, maybe not. Point - there are casinos for gambling.
Use gambling for dopamine blast. Use investing as method for wealth building.
