This article says a portfolio of domestic and international stocks will outperform a 'balanced' (stocks, bonds) or target-based strategy, over a long horizon. Interesting, but I think this deserves more research before relying on it.
At any rate, this approach has worked well for me. Using broad-market mutual funds, not picking individual stocks. That is best left to the pros.

Throw away those target-date funds, and don't hold bonds at all, says this daring new research
So much for the 60/40 portfolio. A new research paper says investors are far better off solely in stocks, then trying to maintain a balanced portfolio.
