In considering how to stock investing today we should first consider just what
is conservative stock investing.

What does conservative mean and is a conservative approach always the best
choice?

The dictionary defines conservative as cautious, practical, and averse to rapid
change.

The traditional conservative approach to investing in stock is long term investing , dividend stocks , and large cap stocks in
a balanced stock portfolio .

The problem is that long term, buy and hold investing in large cap dividend
stocks is not always profitable and can lead to significant losses.

value.

retaining profits.
