How do I find out which stocks to buy before theyre on tiktok/social media

I keep seeing comments saying “if it’s on social media it’s already too late”, so how can I find out which stocks are worth investing in before it’s all over the media? I’ve tried doing my own research on companies growth and what to look for in certain stocks, but I’m new to the scene and want to make the most out of my money. I’m a student so I can’t save a ton but I have enough put aside now and I want to avoid as much as possible going to waste (I know loss is part of learning dw). Any and all comments are appreciated but pls be respectful, as I mentioned I’m new so have some grace 😅

Edit: I should mention I’m interested in all forms of investments. Long term, short term, crypto, etc. I have some knowledge in ETFs and have had some successes with them but feel free to mention anything you think I might not already know, always open to suggestions and feedback
