Keep on reading the posts on this forum and learn as much as u can by yourself. Ull figure out who gives good advice regarding shares. One thing I can say though, is this: If you have not entered into any trades buying shares yet, then youve done better than 99% of all the people who post threads on this forum, and that includes me.

Blue chips are stocks of the "best" companies that are traded on the exchange, where the "best" means that the companies are well established and have proven themselves to be profitable and pay regular dividends over a long period. Usually they have few or no debts and they have the resources to expand and take advantage of opportunities as they arise. The stocks of these companies have so much inherent value that they invariably keep trading at continually rising share prices. In a situation like the one where we are now, where there is a substantial dip in the market including in blue chip share prices, the blue chips are typically the ones that recover first, because the drop in their price had nothing to do with their own poor performance - essentially they are now under-valued and they can be snapped up at bargain prices. The blue chip shares tend to sit in the top 40 index and many of them are household names, like Standard Bank, etc.
