No. There are no safe stocks. There is market risk and there is specific risk. Your safest option is to eliminate as much of the specific risk as possible. Then you just have market risk to worry about. Unfortunately, at the moment that is a pretty big worry with the mortgage meltdown situation at hand.

To eliminate the specific risk--rather reduce it significantly--opt for a mutual fund that invests in "blue chip stocks" if blue chip stocks are what your prefer. T. Rowe Price has one that might fit the bill for you. PRWCX. Has a 10 year annual return of about 12%. Rather good for a blue chipper and the expense ratio is reasonable.

What are you doing? You should do your own research. I would recommend you buy a book such as Jim Cramer's Real Money.
You can also watch his TV show on CNBC.

Dont assume that all blue chips are safe, look at the fundamentals.

If you want a stock look at AT&T (T)

If this is how you do research, I think an index fund is for you.

There is no "safe" stock, they all carry some risk - the better the rate of return, the higher the risk. If you want to keep your money really safe, put it in bonds. Blue chip stocks are generally very safe, but they can't guarantee nothing bad will happen to your money or that you'll earn anything more.

If you're are just starting to do your investments in the stock market, it is definitely a good idea to start with a blue chip. That way your funds are safe, and even though you may experience a volatile market you will not be loosing your shirt. It is also a good idea to check to see what are the current Analyst's picks so that you will get a better idea of what the experts think of particular companies. Which market are you considering investing in? CAD or US?

No stock is safe, it's all a risk if the market goes up and down so does your money..why not put your money into a 401K? If your young this is a great way to save without feeling the burden of having to keep checking to see if your losing money.

Apple. You know they always come out with good products everyone likes and uses. Just watch what the stock does when the iphone comes out and you'll see what I'm talking about. If you want safe invest in a moneymarket account.
