What are Growth Investors?

Growth investors like gambling on volatile stocks for the hope of a big payoff.

Growth investors love a good gamble. Growth stocks often outpace the market, and the best ones can earn triple-digit returns in a short amount of time. The caveat to being in growth investing is that the companies you invest in are less mature, have smaller margins, and typically don’t pay a dividend. Thus, the stocks can be very volatile, especially around earnings season. But for a growth investor, the risks of investing in these stocks are worth the potential rewards.

Growth investors of the past likely took risks on stocks like Apple (AAPL), Amazon.com (AMZN), Netflix (NFLX)—all of whom started off as growth stocks before they became some of the best-performing and most coveted stocks on the market. Those who got in early earned triple-digit, even quadruple-digit, returns.
