Have $1,000? Consider Investing It in 1 of These Hot Growth Stocks

You don't have to invest a lot of money to reap big gains over the long run. Of course, your money has to be invested in the right way to achieve tremendous success.

Think of a lever lifting a boulder. The amount of money you invest is the equivalent of the amount of force you exert on the lever. The stocks that you buy and your investing timeline are like the lever itself. And the boulder represents the size of your return.

If you have a short lever (i.e., low-growth stocks and short time horizon), the boulder you're able to lift (your return) is going to be small. But if you have a long lever (high-growth stocks and a relatively long investing time frame), your boulder/return will be much larger.
