An Introduction to Growth Investing
Growth investing sets aside strict fundamentals to identify companies potentially poised for above-average growth rates and long-term potential. Picking companies that will go on to maintain high levels of growth over long periods of time isn't easy, and most successful growth investors who have been at it for a while will tell you that they have had more than a few misses along the way. However, buying a stock like Amazon.com or Netflix in its early stages, and holding on as the business expands and enjoys an incredible rise, tends to reward investors with life-changing returns.
In order to increase your odds of finding the next big success stories with this investing style, it's helpful to have some growth investing criteria in mind and a solid grasp on some core concepts, so that you know what to look for -- and how to look for it.
