For most investors, the key to finding the best stocks is patience. Through both ups and downs, great stocks can generate truly spectacular price appreciation.
Selling into a crash is a sure way to scuttle your returns. By the same token, buying into market peaks is also going to cripple performance. Stick to a plan, however, and the best stocks will crush the broader market over the longer term.
That’s critical when the S&P 500 isn’t getting it done. Over the past decade, the U.S. benchmark delivered a nominal price gain of 60%. (With dividends and inflation, it comes to 67%.) Yup, it’s been a disappointing decade to say the least.
Past performance is not an indication of future returns, but looking at the S&P 500’s 10 best stocks over the last 10 years is instructive nonetheless. Brands, healthcare and technology dominate the list. Interestingly, good old fashioned retail does too.
Whatever the sector, the most important contributor to gains was staying the course. Have a look at how the S&P 500’s 10 best stocks over the past decade outperformed by a huge margin if you just held on — and how much juice these stocks might have left.

9 Cheap Dividend Aristocrats You Shoud Consider For The Year 2017
2016 is in the books, and the S&P 500 gained over 11% on the year. That’s great news if you’re already in the stock market … but it’s bad news if you’re looking to buy.
The market’s price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is now 26.1, which is 17.6% higher than it was at the beginning of the year. In other words, if you buy stocks now, you’re paying nearly a fifth more for those companies’ earnings than you would have nearly 12 months ago.
We want stocks that have gone up less than the market year-to-date and with P/E ratios that are below the S&P 500 average. Our shopping list should also include companies with strong financials, and especially a history of revenue—and dividend—growth.
You may be surprised to hear that there are a few such stocks are out there, even if they’re getting tougher to find.
Attached I've compiled a list of the cheapest Dividend Aristocrats by forward P/E. They might be a first step for further research.

4 Best Income Stocks Worth Buying in 2017
Income stocks are considered to be good investment options as they generate a secure ongoing stream of regular income for the duration that the stock is held. Hence, such stocks can be an excellent option for risk-averse, long-term investors.
Investors often look for quick money-making alternatives by investing in stocks and achieving fast capital appreciation through increases in share prices. However, the risks involved in the selection process - unexpected stock price declines, market selloffs and elevated tax costs on short-term investments - are often overlooked.
Dividend investing is prudent as dividends are a less risky component of total return than capital appreciation. Also, dividend stocks are historically less volatile than non-dividend stocks. Moreover, they reflect a company's solid financial structure and strong fundamentals.
Whether it's an up market or a down market, there's always a place for dividend investing. Here's why: The yields on dividend stocks rise when their share prices go down.
That's an opportunity to chase extra yield. On the flip side, if the market is escalating upwards - that's obviously good for all equities. Hence, it can be easily said that dividend-paying stocks are always appropriate for long-term investors.
Attached I've compiled a couple of dividend stocks that might be interesting to buy and hold for the next year. All stocks offer a dividend yield of minimum 3% and have a steady dividend growth rate of above 5% in the last five years.
