Well, I would rather not say, but a couple of plans stand out, which I might look into:

The Forbes Special Situation Survey. They're value oriented, and have been around for a long time. They hold about a dozen stocks at a time.

Investment Quality Trends. These guys have been around since the 60s. They pick high-dividend stocks. Their notion of 'high-dividend' uses some chart tea-leaf reading: they assume that a stock's dividend yield will tend to range between a historical min and max, and they recommend a stock if it has a high dividend, relative to its own historical range. Lots of boring stocks like KO and IBM, but the newsletter does pretty well historically, and has low volatility.

Another method I've thought about about is the 'Permanent Portfolio'. It's not a newsletter. Simply put 25% each in an index fund ETF, stock ETF, gold ETF, and cash. Rebalance once per year. It's popular with end-of-the-world preppers, and underperforms the market, but it has VERY low volatility. Good for sleeping at night.
