3 Growth Stocks for Successful Investors

To be a successful growth stock investor, it's important to look beyond the trendiest growth stocks that are constantly in the headlines. With that in mind, here's why our investors believe BofI Holding (NASDAQ: BOFI), iRobot (NASDAQ: IRBT), and A.O. Smith (NYSE: AOS) are three under-the-radar growth stocks that all long-term investors should take a closer look at.

Matt Frankel (BofI Holding): In many ways, BofI Holding operates like a traditional savings and loan. The bulk of the company's business involves taking in deposits in the form of checking accounts, savings accounts, and CDs, and lending out money to qualified customers. However, there's one big difference between BofI and most other banks -- the bank has no physical branches whatsoever.
