What are one recommendations for safe stocks? I have over $100k just sitting in my bank and would like to invest. I’m looking to go the more conservative route initially and start small but not sure how I should get started

Safer stocks would be stocks that have lower betas, meaning they don't swing as wildly compared to stocks with high betas. Tesla would be a high beta stock. Something like AT&T would be a low beta.

Alternatively, grab ETFs or Index funds (SPY, QQQ). They are safer than individual stocks.

Start out with a 10k investment, and invest over time. We are at all time highs, so naturally the market is riskier.

Thank you so much!
