For investors who do not mind taking a little risk and are already growing tired of the ins and outs of traditional investments, growth stocks are becoming attractive alternatives to pump the adrenalines of investment daredevils out there.
Growth stocks are any share in a company that is expected to grow at a rate significantly higher than the average market growth. Historically, they perform best when interest rates are falling and company earnings are on the rise. However, they become vulnerable when the economy begins to decline and the cheap money that can fuels fast growth becomes more difficult to find.
