1. Good quality boring stocks is

the way to go.

2. What are value stocks?

I’m growing a portfolio right now by putting 50 cents in nearly every stock I can find. So far I’m already outperforming the s and p 500 (barely). But perhaps I should investigate these “value” stocks. 🤔

3. Companies with a long term record of growth and

dividends.
I bought McDonalds about 5 years ago for $72 per share and it's now $275 and pays 6%. Also some utilities have always been good.
I've been retired to 20 years and my dividends pay all all of my bills, phone, cable, heat and electric. Have not had a car payment sense 1983 and in my second paid off home. Sometimes buy my groceries with my credit car and pay that off every month. Have a little hobby business in antiques and break even on that, plus get to write off my mileage.
So nice to not have money worries.

4. A Google search on "value stocks" without the quotes brings up a good set of articles

judging from the article titles

But compared to growth stocks they have relatively low price to book ratios and low price to earnings ratios and low price - to - about - everything else ratios. The market doesn't value them as much as growth stocks because growth stocks are expected to grow more.

The big thing I keep reading is that over the long run, value stocks have out-performed growth stocks. Although the past decade or so has been the opposite -- until recently.

Oh, and small cap value do the best of all over the long term, but have more volatility than mid- and large-cap indexes.
