Blue Chip stocks

Blue-chip stocks are shares of well-established, financially stable companies with a strong track record of performance. 💪

These companies typically have a large market capitalisation and are known for their reliability, strong management, and ability to generate consistent profits. Blue-chip stocks are considered relatively low-risk investments compared to other stocks, making them popular among conservative investors.

For example, companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Johnson & Johnson are considered blue-chip stocks.

Fun fact: The term "blue chip" comes from the world of poker, where the blue chips traditionally have the highest value. 🎲 In the investment world, blue-chip stocks are considered the "cream of the crop" due to their reputation for stability and solid returns.
