Depends on your approach are you looking for just growth or immediate income?

This fits pretty well with advice from advisors on my 401k and IRAs, though I'm in a more conservative focus than you should be, given differences in our ages. Still a less predictable environment in the markets than even normally exists.
Doing your research if not getting professional guidance is more important now as a result.

I only do mutual funds that are indexed to things and avoid industry specific stock purchases. I do however have stock in a scompany I used to work for and the dividend is rather nice year after year.

I'd stay with blue chips, just to be safe. Or maybe a good mutual fund?

In my retirement accounts I have my financial advisor handle it. I also have a dividend stock portfolio.

I bought Funeral, Bank, stocks in the past
