Is a good portfolio allocation where half of the allocation is ETFs and the other half is individual stock picks?

My current portfolio is half ETFs and half individual stock picks like Reddit, Palantir, and Amazon. I’ve received a pretty good gain YoY that is above the average ~7% return. The only downside is my individual picks are largely within the NASDAQ, which comes with expected volatility.

Is this a good portfolio allocation?
