Losing Sleep Over Your Portfolio? Consider This Stock.

You could invest in the flashy, high-growth stocks that get all of the headlines and coverage. But ample attention can be a double-edged sword. When a thoroughly covered company fails to live up to its potential, whether as hyped up by Wall Street or otherwise, investors could be in for a volatile stock price.

That doesn't mean you should avoid well-known high growth stocks altogether. However, you should know that not every high growth stock is well-known. Take A.O. Smith (NYSE: AOS) as the perfect example. It owns the leading brand of residential water heaters in the United States and China, wields commanding market share in industrial boilers, and is expanding into home water purification and air purifier products.

You may have never heard of it, or may not think water heaters are worth owning, but the stock has outpaced the returns of many popular growth stocks since 2011, when it began focusing exclusively on water technology products. If you're losing sleep over the volatility of holdings in your stock portfolio, then you should strongly consider buying A.O. Smith.
