You're young, presumably. It's good that you want to get your feet wet, and learn about investing at a young age.
However, buying "safe" isn't necessarily the best approach for a young person. Financial managers will generally recommend higher risk when one is young, and then tapering off the risk as one approaches retirement. That advice balances the benefits of higher risk with the risk that you won't be able to recover from a loss at an older age.
But, if you insist on buying safe, a decent typical 'safety' stock is a utility (a company that supplies electricity, gas, or water, typically). Here's a list of high-yield utility stocks: http://seekingalpha.com/article/21794-highest-yielding-utility-stocks-electric-utilities
Caution: if you buy utilities, be prepared to be bored :)
go to a supermarket and look to see what ppl buy everyday
thing like toilet paper, soup, pork bellies
or gas,electric utilities etc
you won't make a killing, but over time will have a steady investment
ppl have used TP, gas and electric for over 100 yrs, and despite ups and downs has reamined steady
My bank advisor stated buying stocks is not adviceable bec of the economy.
"Has'ntbeen" was correct with riskier stocks.......The financials(banks)took a hit last year but seem to be coming around. Bank of America (BAC) is where I put my money. I also think SiriusXM is on the rise and cheap "50 cents a share" but I consider a short term stock. My advice to you is..............never be afraid to sell.
