Have you personally invested in any blue-chip stocks? If so, what has been your experience compared to other stocks you trade?
Haven't had much luck. Now I'm happy just trading actively in my pro account and averaging in and out of ETFs in my Roth.
I’d rather concentrate on a few blue chip than diversify around dog shits. Dan Zanger made a fortune leveraging on a few blue chip, there and here, at the right time and at the right place. Lower priced stocks with low capitalization are more prone to pump and dump kind of mean reversion. Timothy Sykes and others made fortunes by shorting them.
The last time I invested in blue chip stocks was 2 decades ago. Blue chip stocks can turn purple color. So don't think it is easy money investing in blue chip stocks. Whether it is blue chip stock, or rotten chip stock, or index futures, or commodity futures .... the concept is the same; buy low sell high sell high buy low Exception : people from eliteinvestor.com can only buy low sell high. They don't know or cannot or refuse to sell high buy low.
It's all about finding the trading strategies that work best for you. I have not heard about blue-chip stock wondering who has any experience.
It's understandable, I have heard that blue chip stocks are known for their stability and strong performance over time, is it right?
twoooo decades ago???? how was your experience? what are your thoughts on stock generally? which one is better to start trading?
Blue chips are fine but you will likely need some leverage depending on your target risk profile. E.g. YTD almost the entire game so far was to long megacap tech (sadly, I didn't). Just pointing out that a career can be made holding on to bull runs like this.
mistake. It was 4 decades ago. I started investing/trading when computers were still not available for home use. In those days, we used a calculator and graph paper to plot the chart. The only thing I'd invest in is real estate. But I would invest towards the end of the recession.
%% YES\ blue chips[aka DOW or DIA]are helpful in the sense data goes back to1920s-1930s..... DIA, even x2 or x 3 ETFs tend to underperform SPY+ related benchmark about 97% of the time. But one daytrader did real well[public trades]; with DOW derivative, so to each his, or her own. I like blue [or greenLOL]+ red charts more than blue chips.
