then do your research and pick large cap companies that are well run & that provide a product/service/innovation that you believe is superior to their competition and that they can maintain that competitive advantage. also ensure their valuation is something you can live with (i love amazon, but can't live with its valuation, this was at $23x when i sold, its at $17x right now - i will pick that stock up again, though, as it is by far and away the premier online marketplace)
OR pick good dividend stocks that pay you 5-7% p.a., reinvest through a DRIP and forget about it (just look at big banks, or established oil & gas plays - there are many 8-10% dividend payers out there too, but usually smaller cap and higher risk)
