3 Nasdaq 100 Stocks Begging to Be Bought in September
Since the end of the Great Recession, growth stocks have run circles around value and income stocks. Historically low lending rates and ongoing quantitative easing measures by the nation's central bank have allowed fast-growing companies to borrow cheaply to expand and innovate.
This outperformance is particularly noticeable when comparing the aggregate returns of the benchmark S&P 500 since the Great Recession bottom in March 2009 to the technology-driven Nasdaq 100 over the same time frame. The Nasdaq 100 consists of the 100 largest nonfinancial companies listed on the Nasdaq exchange. Over the past 12.5 years, the Nasdaq 100 has more than doubled up the S&P 500 (up 559%) with a gain of 1,380%.
Despite these huge gains, great deals can still be found in this innovation-driven index. The following trio of Nasdaq 100 stocks are all great companies with clear-cut competitive advantages that are just begging to be bought in September.
