I am looking to the board for assisting me and hopefully others with starting a portfolio invested solely in blue chip stocks. Some questions that I have, and others are welcome to ask more:

When building a portfolio of blue chips, what are some of the factors that play into what you are buying?
How many stocks do you prefer to own in your portfolio?
What are some of the goals for your portfolio? (such as retirement, home, kid's tuition)
How often do you invest into your portfolio?

I'd just buy and index fund, personally.

I've only got 4 blue chips. Purchased them myself. No broker. DRIPS. The diversity was:
Energy
Retail
Medical
Electronics/Tech

The counter balance to that was an equal investment in a mutual fund managed by a guy who I have to pay a small fee.

My blue chips have outpaced his mix by a lot.

My investments have no goal. It just sits there because it's much better than sitting in a bank.
