New Investor? Buy These 2 Rock-Solid Stalwarts for Safety and Dividends

Millions of people have started investing in the past year, thanks in large part to the growing popularity of apps like Robinhood and zero-commission trading. Boredom also could have played a role; in the middle of lockdowns and stay-at-home orders, trading stocks may have inadvertently become a new pastime for many looking to make money on the market.

Investing can be a great way to improve your financial position. But if you aren't careful and you buy shares of bad or risky companies, those mistakes can destroy your savings. If you are a new investor and aren't sure which stocks you should start your portfolio with, there are two that won't steer you wrong: Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) and Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO).
