If you are willing to choose some individual stocks for your portfolio, give extra attention to those that pay dividends.
A company that pays dividends is likely established enough with relatively predictable cash flow to commit to a regular payout for shareholders. Better still, healthy, growing companies tend to increase their dividends over time.
When assessing dividend payers, don't just look for the fattest dividend yields. Those can be reduced very fast. The bigger the yield, the higher the possibility of a dividend cut.
Also, even with two healthy companies, if one has a lower dividend yield but is growing its payout more briskly, its payout may soon outstrip the other company's dividend.
It's important to look for solid dividend growth, too. Finally, consider the company's payout ratio, which reflects the portion of earnings that are being paid out as dividends.
If it's, say, 80% or more, then there isn't much room for significant dividend growth, and if it stays above 100% for long, the dividend might have to be reduced.

Stocks from the Dow Jones seems to be less volatile due a bigger risk diversification but this means also that you give a part of your return away.
I don't tell that Dow Jones stocks are the best way to generate a profit. If you buy all index members, your return will be the same as the overall market.
In addition, each variance from the index constitution will generate an under or outperformance. Dividend payments play an important role in the return calculation. Around 30 to 50 percent of the total returns should be attributable to dividend payments.

Investors are sometimes scared about falling stock prices. I often believe that stock prices fall because many people sell stocks. So what is the real reason for a falling stock price?
I personally don't care about the stock prices despite the fact that I do look several times a day on the market movements. But I don't buy or sell on these price changes.
Market sell-offs could be great opportunity for investors who trust their company and know what the management team is doing.
I know that it is hard to discover the true origin circumstances that caused the stock price loss. And if you buy, don't expect that you will make quick money. You could get hard pain if you buy a falling knife.
The good news is that you will be rewarded if you stay disciplined. Return don't come in months, it will come over years.
