Are ‘Safe’ Blue-Chip Stocks Actually Holding Your Portfolio Back?

🔥Are These Safe Stocks actually RISKY for Your Portfolio?!

Everyone thinks the stocks I’m about to talk about are SUPER SAFE, but could they actually destroy your portfolio?

❌Destroy? No. Eat into possibly larger returns? ✅

📊You know those mega cap blue chip stocks EVERYONE always tells you are mega safe? Well, the risks associated with investing ONLY in them are rarely talked about.

🎤So, let’s talk about them.

📈Everyone knows KO, JNJ, PG, VZ - they’re name brands, been around forever, they post solid revenues, and annual dividend increases. What could possibly be risky?

Well, as a part of a diversified portfolio, not much.

💰These are great stocks to consider adding to your portfolio. BUT if you were a conservative investor who opted for slow and steady growth exclusively, because market volatility made you nervous …

Just take a look at the 10 year returns of …

KO (⬆️69%) vs. CELH (⬆️7200%)

JNJ (⬆️62%) vs. HIMS (275% in 5 years, not public for 10)

VZ (⬇️12%) vs TMUS (⬆️694%)

IBM (⬆️55%) vs. NVDA (⬆️23,000%)

These massive blue chip stocks usually experience slower revenue growth, mediocre dividend returns, legal battles (JNJ) and inflation related pain.

I get that people think they’re safe - and they are, as a part of a diversified portfolio (🤫 saying diverse is illegal these days), but when’s the last time you saw a blue chip stock 10x?

So, are these BAD companies to invest in? Absolutely not.

⏰The downside to only investing in massive growth companies is getting in at the right time.

🚨Most investors can’t do this … or they find out too late. Does that mean they shouldn’t consider investing in newer growth companies? No, but it’s also unrealistic to assume that because NVDA did 23,000% in the last decade that it’ll do it again in the next.

📝The best strategy: Be diversified. Opt for a mixture of ETFs for long term safety, large cap dividend stocks to insulate your portfolio during all markets (but especially recessions), and growth stocks for long term gains.
