Hello everyone, I’m a European investor

I’m looking into Alphabet (GOOGL) and I’m curious about your thoughts. Considering only **individual stocks** (no ETFs or mutual funds), do you think GOOGL is the safest long-term investment with solid potential to grow my money over the next 5–20 years? Or is there another stock that offers a better combination of stability and growth?

I’d love to hear your insights on risk, security, and potential returns compared to other major individual stocks. Any experiences or advice are greatly appreciated!
