The term "blue Chip stock" comes from 'the world of poker, where the highest value chips are blue surpassing white chips and red chips, so it is an informal term for the most reliable and valuable companies on the market.

Blue Chip stocks refer to stocks of large, financially sound, and well-established companies with a long history of stable earnings growth, dividend payment, and a reputation for quality management, products, and services.

What is US debt ceiling ?

The U.S. debt ceiling, also known as the debt limit, is the maximum amount of debt that the U.S. government is legally allowed to borrow to fund its operations and meet its financial obligations. It is a cap on the total amount of outstanding debt that the U.S. Treasury can issue to the public, including Treasury bonds, bills, and notes. The debt ceiling is set by Congress through legislation and represents the cumulative amount of money the government has borrowed over time. It is intended to limit the government's ability to accumulate excessive levels of debt without explicit approval from Congress.

A real estate investment trust (“REIT”) is a company that owns, operates, or finances income-producing real estate. REITs provide an investment opportunity for anyone to invest in real estate by buying their stock either directly or through mutual funds or ETFs. REIT stockholders earn income through dividends without actually having to go out and buy, manage, or finance property. Buying & selling units are comparatively easier as they are traded in the stock exchange, contrastingly selling physical real estate may become difficult as the trade can only be done when a buyer is discovered. Approximately 150 million Americans live in households invested in REITs through their 401(k), IRAs, pension plans, and other investment funds. REITs are mainly classified into two categories i.e. Equity REITs & Mortgage REITs which are also known as mREITs. 👉Equity real estate investment trusts are the most common type of REIT. They acquire, manage, build, renovate, and sell income-producing
