> When scrutinizing a stock, retirees should look for:
>  •Size. Most retirees would rather not take a flyer on unproven
> businesses. Bigger companies may lack their smaller counterparts'
> growth potential, but they do offer greater security.
> •Consistency. While many investors look for fast-growing companies,

> •Stock stability. Conservative retirement investors prefer investments
> that move less dramatically than typical stocks, and they particularly

> during bull markets, but they won't fall as far or as fast during bear

> •Valuation. No one can afford to pay too much for a stock, even if its
