Which stocks do you consider "safe"?

Posted at: 2014-12-05 
There is no such thing as a perfectly safe stock that goes up every year. Just ask those who owned GM stock. Or Kodak stock.

The closest things you are going to find would be well known worldwide consumer staple brands like Coca Cola, McDonald's, Proctor and Gamble, Clorox, AT&T and so on. Those stocks all pay a nice dividend and over time will probably steadily rise, although there will be ups and downs.

First ask yourself whether you even want to be an investor in individual stocks. If you are asking about safe stocks then the answer is probably no. Go to Vanguard.com like I did and start investing in mutual funds. They have a research tool you can use to select stock funds that fit your risk tolerance. Fidelity offers all the same things.

Berkshire Hathaway

A company that's not Tesla, LinkedIn, or Pandora

banks because they are in the business to make money.

Nothing is 'safe' anymore. If you owned K mart and GM 5 years ago, your money would have fallen to ZERO!!!!! When someone tells you it's a 'safe'stock, RUN and don't walk away!

you need to do more research, and this might involve watching the daily reporting of stocks, when you see a reasonably safe trend of continuity or one or another of a stock, you can probably be reasonably assure this is a 'safe' one

this isn't something you can determine on the spur of the moment, this takes time and due diligence watching the market to see what is good and not

Hello, I am just getting all the research I can before entering the stock market field later on down the road. I know stocks are never considered "safe" as something can happen & they drop drastically, But which stocks do you consider to be steady increases yearly & Not fully dangerous? Thank you!
