GROWTH STOCKS VS BLUE CHIP STOCKS 📈 #Best Education Page #Online Earning

GROWTH STOCKS VS BLUE CHIP STOCKS 📈


so today we're going to be talking about
the difference between blue chip stocks
and growth stocks so I have a lot of
people who are frequently asking me
questions like how do I determine what's
a blue chip stock how do I determine
what a growth stock is and it's kind of
a difficult question because like my
favorite brand of adult diapers it
depends okay I had to get that out there
I'm sorry I thought of that while I was
writing this up here on the board and I
know you guys are going to kill me for
that really bad joke but anyways let's
talk about this guy's so there's no set
rules out there or there's no set
official list of blue chip stocks out
there what many people follow is the Dow
Jones Industrial Average of the Dow 30
which are 30 very good companies that
have been around for a long time and the
list does change once in a while but
many people look at those as examples of
blue chip stocks but there are other
stocks out there that many would
consider a blue chip stock based on
their market capitalization or their
dividend history that may not be on the
Dow Jones Industrial Average so it
really does depend so you kind of have
to look around and do your own research
but what I'm going to show you guys are
the basic characteristics of some growth
stocks as well as the characteristics of
blue chip stocks so maybe you guys can
get a better idea when you're looking at
a stock whether it's a growth stock or
whether it's more of a blue chip stock
so here's one question I get a lot -
people ask what is better should I
invest in blue chip stocks or should I
invest in growth stocks so by the sound
of it many people look at blue chip
stocks is kind of a safer slower-growing
investment and many people associate a
growth stock with growth and they think
that they're going to have a better
return on their investment so let's look
at an example right here so first of all
we have a vanguard growth index fund if
you guys search for this you can get
this just by searching for I had the
stock symbol but I forgot to put it down
here and we're going to compare that to
the Dow Jones Industrial Average which
as we said is a collection of 30
companies that most would consider to be
blue chip companies or blue chip stocks
so the answer is it does depend on what
the market is doing so if we look at
this right here over the last three
months the Vanguard growth index fund
has returned 4% while the Dow Jones
Industrial Average has returned eight
point seven percent so over the last
three months blue chip stocks have
outperformed over the last year the
Vanguard growth index fund has returned
fifteen point nine percent while the Dow
Jones Industrial Average has returned
twenty three percent so over the last
year blue chip stocks performed better
however over the last five years this
Vanguard growth index fund has returned
eighty five point seven percent while
the Dow Jones Industrial Average has
returned only 67 point two so over the
last five years growth stocks were
better however over the last year the
blue chip stocks outperformed so it
depends on the market so many people use
the strategy of having a blend of growth
stocks as well as blue chip stocks and
their portfolio because each outperform
each other at different times so I just
kind of wanted to show that to you guys
I know a lot of people go and they say
oh you know you got to invest in growth
stocks for a better return however if
you're someone who just started
investing a year ago you would have seen
a much better return from blue chips
than you would growth stocks if you were
looking at index button so don't always
assume that growth stocks are going to
give you a better return typically they
do because smaller companies grow faster
and we're going to talk about that in a
second as far as characteristics of
growth stocks but understand that it
depends on the market and there are
times that the blue chip stocks and the
larger companies are outperforming the
smaller companies as far as stock price
goes so first of all let's identify what
a growth stock is so a growth stock is a
company increasing in capital value
they're grown company their earnings are
expected to grow at a faster rate than
the market so what does that mean that
means that the earnings are going to
grow faster than companies of the same
industry or of the market overall so if
you were looking at a company that was
in a certain sector let's say you're
looking at semiconductors you would
expect this stock to have earnings
growing faster than that sector average
or faster than other companies within
that sector so here's a couple of
examples of some growth stocks we have
cirrus logic we have Zillow we have
Facebook now many people may look at
Facebook and say well based on market
capitalization I'm going to call that a
blue chip stock so this is kind of where
we get into the gray area where people
could kind of call that either one
because there's no set rules or set
lists out there but based on their
growth
would call Facebook of growth stock
despite them being so large so what are
you looking for with a growth stock well
the first thing you look at is the
growth rate the best way to look at that
is the historical five-year growth and
they projected five-year growth okay big
companies do not grow as fast as small
ones so if you're someone looking for
stocks so looking for stocks to invest
in here's just some set guidelines of
what you might want to look for if
you're looking at a smaller company
because you're expecting them to have
more rapid growth you want to see 10 to
12 percent historical growth and 10 to
12 percent five-year projected growth so
this kind of shows that this is a grown
company and you also want to see future
growth being at a higher rate than the
previous or the historical growth so you
want to see that they're growing faster
now than they were over the last five
years now because larger companies grow
at a slower rate you might want to see
five to eight percent historical growth
and then five to eight percent
anticipated growth over the next five
years again you do want to see a company
growing faster than it was in the
previous five years if you're looking
for certain things within an investment
if you have a you know a checklist of
some kind that's one thing I like to see
then we look at return on equity so this
is basically how well a company uses
investment to generate earnings growth
if you want to learn more about this
stuff here I did a whole video recently
on how to value a stock I talked about
all these different things and I believe
I talked about six different indicators
that I look at as far as valuing a stock
so if this stuff interests you guys I
will link up that video at the end I
highly recommend you check that out but
this is like we said how well a company
uses investments to generate earnings
growth so here's what I look for in a
stock seventeen to twenty percent return
on equity is very good 20 to 25 percent
is excellent and anything above 25
percent is superior so a minimum of 17
percent is what I like to see you may
have your own set number there that
you're looking for but you want to see
that they're having a good return on
equity you want to see that they're
using money from investments wisely you
don't want to see a low return on equity
because that means they're not using the
money very effectively they're not
getting much of a return for it another
thing you can look at is earnings per
share so our sales resulting in earnings
may be their sales are rising but their
earnings per share are remaining flat
you're going to want to see earnings
keeping up with sales you want to see
them making more money as well as
keeping more money in earnings you also
want to look at profit margins and you
want to see that profit margins are
growing and another thing to look at is
the industry average so what is the
average return so as far as a company on
their sales what are they making and
earnings so you want to look at things
like that and make sure they're earning
as much as other companies within that
industry another thing to mention is
this so if you're looking for a growth
stock and you're looking at things like
return on equity or earnings per share
or growth rate and you're looking at a
company that had a recent IPO you're not
going to see these things so you can't
strictly look at this you have to look
at every company individually so if a
company had a recent IPO and they just
went public
they have no operating history so you're
not going to see them on these metrics
but that could still be considered a
growth stock all right so now let's talk
about a blue-chip stock and again guys I
did a whole video talking about blue
chip stocks about a month ago so if you
want to learn more about that I have a
ton of videos on my channel if you guys
are new make sure you guys subscribe
because I put out a ton of videos like
this just talking about different topics
involving the stock market but a blue
chip stock is a stock of a
well-established stable and financially
responsible company and their earnings
and revenue grow at or below the market
average as we said before larger
companies do not grow as fast as smaller
ones and the blue chip stocks these are
the biggest of the big these are the
largest companies these are the titans
of the industry because they're so large
there's no way they could grow as fast
at these smaller companies because
they're so well-established already
here's a few examples of some blue chip
stocks we have IBM Microsoft coca-cola
and Visa the number one thing to look
for with blue chip stocks to identify
them I look at market capitalization you
want to see a company with a market
capitalization of 100 billion dollars or
more another thing to look at is the
dividend payments to shareholders most
blue chip stocks because they're not
growing as fast what they do is they pay
dividends to shareholders so they
basically take their earnings and they
give a portion of those earnings to the
shareholders because the stock is not
going to increase as much in some cases
as the stocks of these smaller companies
however if we look at the recent year
they've increased at a greater rate than
some of these
smaller companies but anyway what they
do is they pay dividends to shareholders
so this is another way that you can get
a return from blue chip stocks so not
only do you want to look at whether or
not they are paying dividends you want
to see a history of rising dividends and
you also want to see how long they've
been paying dividends and if they've
ever got rid of the dividend temporarily
or eliminated dividends in the past so
you want to look at their dividend
history that's very important as far as
you know looking at blue chip stocks and
deciding on a good investment but as far
as characteristics go you know large
market capitalization and dividend
payments are two very big signs that
this would be a blue chip company then
we have a long-standing and time-tested
so you want to make sure this is a
company that's been around for a long
time this may be why you might not
consider Facebook to be a blue chip
stock because they had a recent IPO we
despite the fact that they have such a
large market capitalization they haven't
been around a long time they're not a
time-tested company so that's why you
might not see a company like Facebook on
the Dow Jones Industrial Average because
these are well established companies
that have been around for a long time
another thing to look at is whether it's
the leader or the top three of the
industry which I'm sure as you guys can
figure Facebook meet that criteria but
it may not meet some of these other
criteria here so again this is where we
get into that gray area of what you
consider a blue chip stock to be because
there's no official list out there but
this is what you're going to be looking
for if you're someone out there looking
at a stock and you're trying to
determine whether it's a growth stock or
a blue chip stock look at things like
market capitalization how fast they're
growing compared to stocks within the
sector are they paying dividends and
this is how you can determine whether
you're looking at a blue chip stock or a
growth stock and like I said as we
looked at with this example here
historically at some times you know the
blue chip stocks outperform the growth
stocks and at other times the growth
stocks outperform those blue chips so a
blend is actually a good strategy within
your portfolio but I just kind of wanted
to clarify this because I get a lot of
people asking about this so if you guys
