Thanks for pointing this out.

Cheers.

Some blue chips offer generous dividend return, so that will be a good source of additional income, on top of capital gains.

In fact, I know of investors who invest sorely on high dividend paying companies just for the dividend revenue. Companies with strong fundamental history paying an excess of 6% dividend rate will not be too hard to find. Those will be good ones to look out for.

You are right to say that stock price tend to appreciate in the long term.

Blue chip are very safe, however returns will not be spectacular.

One trick I’ve learnt – invest in blue chip, especially government linked companies ones, whenever in a time of sudden disaster, disease breakout, or even terrorist attack.

These cases are usually short term in nature, and you will expect panic selling in such situations, and this give rise to great profit opportunity.

We have to bear in mind that fundamentals of good government linked blue chip companies do not turn bad overnight, and that the government will usually not allow them to fall. So you can expect their price to return back to normal and appreciate in due time.

This strategy never fails to work – buy blue chip in times of sudden crisis (which are short term in nature).
