• BLUE-CHIP STOCKS
  
  Stocks of seasoned companies that have paid regular dividends in both good and bad years. Investments in blue-chip stocks are relatively conservative. Some examples of blue-chip stocks are the 30 securities used to calculate the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The term “blue chip stocks” is derived from poker since the poker chip with the highest value is blue.
