blue chip
Safe investment choice
Blue chip describes investments, companies, or stocks considered reliable and valuable.
The term comes from poker, where blue chips traditionally hold the highest value.
A blue-chip stock belongs to a large, financially stable corporation with a history of steady performance.
The phrase extends beyond finance: a blue-chip recruit is a highly valued prospect, especially in sports.
