If ur not in the trading game, just go with an index fund.
Or buy & hold solid stocks. I used to get caught up in buying a nice stock and selling it when it made a profit. Then it would either rise or decline and I would buy it again , only to lose.
It also depends on how much u have in ur portfolio.
I can give u a list of dividend paying stocks. 12 of them that pay on different months so basically u have a check coming in every month.
