In finance jargon, focus on *value* stocks with higher dividend *yields* in *quality* companies to narrow your choices.
And I agree with the comment about a mutual fund (an ETF can work, too) rather than stock picking yourself because of diversification benefits and stock pickers generally underperform over the long run.
