Maybe you're currently retired, or maybe you're just thinking about it.

For many, investing is about staying in for the long haul, especially if you want to generate a lifetime stream of income that will support you well into retirement.

Some investors consistently seek the highest-growth stocks in the market. Others focus almost exclusively on quality, with valuation being the most vital metric to consider.

Generating a steady and hefty stream of income is a key factor in any investing strategy.

It's been tough to lose money on ETFs this year — nearly every actively traded U.S. diversified ETF is up in 2025 so far. But there's a tiny number of unlucky ETFs sinking amid a rising tide.

Dividend investors on the search for yield and relative stability in this market have plenty of work to do to identify the specific stocks that can outperform the broader market.
