blue chips
Low-risk investments
Blue chips are stocks in large, well-established companies with long records of stable earnings and reliable dividends—companies like IBM or Coca-Cola.
The term comes from poker, where blue chips traditionally have the highest value.
As an adjective, blue-chip describes anything considered safe, prestigious, or first-rate: a blue-chip investment, blue-chip credentials.
