To answer your question, look for undervalued investments. When an investment has lots of potential to increase in valued over the short term and long term, it is generally safer, because it has a smaller chance of decreasing in valued.
As for revenue, it may be best just to buy undervalued investments, because if you need money, you can always sell the stock. If you don't want to sell stocks, you can always buy investments that give a dividend. Either way works, but never purchase a stock because it has a high dividend. What happens if the dividend is 5%, but the stock loses 20% in value, then you lost 15%. Buy undervalued investments and you'll be much safer.
