How safe are Blue Chip stocks?

[True Dough]

1. If you purchase a basket of them

you improve your odds of doing better over the long-term. You also could select ones that pay dividends, so you'll receive small quarterly or annual payments.

Really depends on your investment timeline. If you have a window of at least several years, you should do fine. But the markets have been frothy and there could be a crash in a year or two. Impossible to predict timing, but cycles always occur.
