stock picking
Choosing individual equities
Stock picking is selecting individual stocks to buy or sell, as opposed to investing in index funds or other diversified instruments.
The term implies active judgment about which companies will outperform: Her stock picking has beaten the market three years running.
Professional stock pickers research companies, analyze financials, and bet on their assessments—with mixed results compared to passive strategies.
