Building an 8-Stock Portfolio to Beat the S&P 500 Long Term What Would You Pick?

Hi everyone, I’m resetting my portfolio and want to build a focused 8-stock portfolio with strong long-term upside while still being somewhat diversified.

My main goal is to outperform the S&P 500 consistently over the next 5–10 years. I’m fine with volatility and willing to take some calculated risks for bigger returns.

I’m looking for a mix of high-growth stocks, AI/tech exposure, solid long-term compounders, and maybe 1–2 speculative plays with huge upside potential.

If you had to build the best 8-stock portfolio today to beat the market long term, what would your picks be and why?

Curious to hear everyone’s highest-conviction stocks right now.
