Fortunately, there is a easy source as the SP500 dividend aristocrats ETF was launched in 2005.
Because this index requires companies to be in the S&P 500 and have at least 25 consecutive years of dividend increases, tracking the historical 2005 list highlights how much corporate landscapes shift. Over the last two decades, roughly half of these companies were dropped due to acquisitions, or because they cut/paused their dividends during major economic shakeups like the 2008 Financial Crisis.

I have a "play money" account that I use to chase hunches and follow tips and remind myself why I don't have the patience for options trading. My "core" is still 90/10 stocks/bonds. So this $10k account is just to goof with. (That's a tiny sliver for me, so you pick a number that works for you if you like this idea.)
I occasionally see something that will make a moon shot. I've made > 400% a few times. I recently saw TGT get hot with bad headline and drop. (Unfortunately I didn't call the bottom and it was 14 months before I got a passable return.) I've lost 50% sometimes. You get the idea. If it gets too big I fund and IRA year or whatever. If it gets too low, I gotta make it back in that account. So $10k has been $4k for long stretches sometimes.
I think you chasing particular hot stocks isn't stupid but I would designate some % you are OK losing (even if it's 30% or half). And play with that.
But I've definitely held things that tanked when they were looking totally solid... Worst was the time I turned $32,000 into $700 before cutting bait. Great company on paper, great trajectory, great addressable market blah blah blah
