I did that before too! Honestly, it did feel like gambling a bit. It worked until the company one day went bankrupt.

After that I started looking at newsletter service like Motley Fool, but curious to see if there are other services that people recommend. I have looked at Personal Capital (iPhone app), but haven't booked a session with them yet.

Personally, I have been a turned off by financial advisors.

Bankrupt, ouch.

Yeah, most people don't seem to think very much of this strategy (I'm even down-voted?), and no one talks about it. But I'm not sure why. I hear about the crappy 5% a year or whatever returns people get, which just never seems very good to me. But, idk, maybe I'll lose all my money one day. That's a real possibility as I spurn most advice I get.

Anyway, Good luck!
