Stocks vs index funds for long term

Ik people have answered this a bunch of times but

I'm a young investor and like investing in individual companies because they are more fun than index funds

But that being said how many people can accurately predict the market long term in these space stocks or literally anything

Should I just invest in SPY and QQQ for the rest of my life and enjoy my annual 10% returns?

What to do with investments

Hi I am a 17 year old investor so I am young and a long term investor. I have had a stock account for about 2 years now. I want long term growth preferably and some picks (small percentages of account) for short term growth that I can sell off. As far as ETF’s go a lot of money for me is already in VOO and some in international. My riskiest bet that I have a lot of money in is amplitech, I bought right at current price so don’t know what to sell. My question is what to add right now and sell and what to do for the next year into the future for my account.

Stock Value % of Portfolio
VOO $1,312.70 52.2%
NVDA $277.83 11.0%
AMPG $269.08 10.7%
MSFT $223.71 8.9%
LLY $171.07 6.8%
VT $153.81 6.1%
NFLX $53.26 2.1%
NVO $26.75 1.1%
ASTS $25.75 1.0%
