PortWhat is a blue chip?
A large, liquid company with an established position, usually part of the main index.
Explanation
While an informal term, "blue chip" consistently refers to a company whose shares can be bought and sold in large quantities without significantly impacting the price, and which has been established for many years.
It does not imply safety. Large companies can also experience declines of tens of percentage points. The difference lies in liquidity and information availability, not in guaranteed returns.
Example
On the WSE, WIG20 companies are considered blue chips. In the US market, blue chips include companies from the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the largest companies in the S&P 500.
