Large company stocks i think...

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I would argue that because large companies are usually more successful than small companies, they are not as risky

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so that would make me say that small company stocks are riskier

THinking about it jim is right, it is easier for a small company to fail

But usaully people invest big amounts in large companies...So a small drop is a lot!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer they are probably looking for is small companies...

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes, but big companies (eg: blue chip companies that are usually stable no matter how the economy is doing) are less risky because they are more diversified and have deeper connections in business
