Growth Investing
Introduction to Growth Investing
Day trading involves buying and selling financial instruments within the same trading day. Traders capitalize on small price movements within the day, closing all positions before the market closes.
Characteristics of Growth Stocks
Typically, growth stocks are from companies with innovative products or services contributing to rapid growth. These stocks often do not pay dividends, as the companies reinvest earnings to accelerate growth.
Time Horizon and Risk
Growth investing often involves a longer-term horizon, with investors willing to tolerate higher levels of risk for potential higher returns.
