I often hear people saying if you got say half a million dollars n invest in blue chip or solid stocks, you can get 5% or maybe higher n you can slow down or retire. Well can somebody share with me some of these blue chips as it is always easier said than done. Hyflux, swiber, noble, swissco....i nearly invest in them. Really woken me that nothing is safe. Now I just leave all my funds in the bank FD n cpf account which is more than a mil now. If these two fail, then i think its doomsday for mankind.
