how does a layman even interpret SEC filings and other reports in a competent way without at least a passing background in understanding how financial accounting works?
it's just purely speculation otherwise
you'd have better odds going to vegas

Things to look for, in order:
1. Levered to a good / key trend
2. High quality business model (competitive advantages, moat, pricing power, margins, recurring vs non recurring)
3. High quality management team
4. Valuation

Even if you know all this, it is very hard to accurately gauge the trajectory of businesses. If you have a differentiated view on the adoption or penetration of something (or lack thereof) you can make significant money
In 2009 if you realized Apple had something special in the iPhone with significant pricing power, you'd have made a lot of money over the long term
Ditto Netflix and streaming, ditto ANET and datacenter networking, ditto AMZN and AWS, ditto MSFT and Azure, ditto ADBE and Creative Cloud, ditto Priceline and online travel, ditto NVDA and Machine learning, etc. etc.
This might be a tech centric framework/ viewpoint, however
I agree you should buy the index but OP asked for security selection

Sure, that's the hard part of the job
Is the PALM PRE THE NEXT IPHONE KILLA
Or does the Apple cachet / iTunes leverage / better app ecosystem win out?
At the end of the day it's a gigantic casino, and you make your bets with the best knowledge/research you have

That's where if you have an edge and know the expected value is off you can make money
re: Apple, for sure. I don't think anyone in their wildest dreams would have thought it would be where it is now
But here's an example. When Apple was releasing the bigger screen phone for the first time - iPhone 6. You could have had a differentiated view on that
Or another example. How about a couple years ago when we came up with the Netflix GF meme? Imagine how fucking sticky that product is for a vast swath of people. Then think to yourself, fuck they could double the price and my GF would still pay the $.

Take 75% of your cash/savings wealth (aside from 6 month emergency fund etc. bs) and put in some sort of safe auto invested portfolio by a major broker that doesn't charge direct fees for it (Schwab, etc.) - only real way to build wealth is through long term investing in ETFs/index funds
Then take 25% and TRADE meme stocks like AMD, MU, WEED, etc. Follow a handful of very volatile stocks and recognize there are clear patterns they follow and know how to exploit them.
Then cry as you lose money

True value investing in the Buffet/Graham mold is dead
It worked when lack of information / competition meant you could literally find companies trading at valuations below the cash on their balance sheet
Now Buffett buys IBM stock because "Value!"
