<prompt> Human: As a 20 year old who recently started an IRA, I plan on trying to make the full contribution every year until I retire. Sometimes I worry though that the Blue-Chip stocks I think are safe wont be in business anymore when Im older. What Blue-Chips stocks do you guys think will be around in 40 years, and which ones wont?  <response>: rpersonalfinance generally recommends investing in index funds. rinvesting is a better forum for discussing individual stocks.
