Growth stock investing is riskier than value investing. However, when you can find growth stocks available when they are undervalued, you theoretically could have the best of both worlds. The low valuation mitigates much of the risk while simultaneously providing the opportunity for much higher returns. In the jargon of the industry, they call these kinds of stocks GARP, an acronym for growth at a reasonable price.
I was asked by several subscribers to do a video about growth stocks. Frankly, although there are still companies that are growing at 15% or better, which I personally define as a true growth stock, is very hard to find any that are at value. With this video I attempted to find the combination of above-average growth that can be purchased at below average valuations.
Importantly, I am not thoroughly researched these selections and therefore simply offer them as research candidates. If you are an investor looking for high total returns at reasonable levels of risk, you might want to research the stocks more thoroughly. But as I often say, when you are investing in growth stocks, caveat emptor (buyer beware).
