Not trying to be a hater, but if you follow most investing advice, you can do really well in the stock market. Don't try to pick stocks, just buy low load index funds (SPY, Russel2000) and hold onto them. Doing that, you can get above 6% yields over the course of a few decades.

This has worked really well for so many people. Its boring, there's nothing sexy about it but you will retire with a decent chunk of cheddar.

You'll never do well trying to trade individual stocks. Even the pros screw that up constantly. There's a huge industry trying to convince you to trade, but that's so they can make commissions and make $$$ on flow.

Be a boring investor and find an exciting hobby instead.
