Do you think you can outperform a broad market index fund in the long run? Probably not. People with way more time/resources than us make it their whole career, and even most of them can't do it.
You are free to play around with individual stocks if you want, but you should really do that in a small portion of your brokerage account. That way you can deduct losses if you are wrong. If you sell for a loss in a Roth, you're out of luck. There are a lot of people who sold ARK investments for a loss in their Roth and get no deduction.
You can but most likely to underperform the market.
You definitely can. But it requires following the market and discipline at getting in at low and selling at high. Many people don’t sell, and then hold the bag.
