Customer Reviews

Best book on Growth Stock Investing.

Investing in growth stocks is often misunderstood and confused with momentum investing. James Broadfoot dispels these beliefs and provides an excellent framework to pick the best small-cap growth stocks. Two central themes to look for in picking small-cap growth winners introduced in this book include visibility through recurring revenues or backlogs, and operating leverage that creates margin expansion, allowing for companies to beat analyst estimates. The book provides several examples of small-cap growth companies that had these favorable characteristics, as well as several that did not, to help you know what to avoid. Is to growth stock investing what Margin of Safety is to value investing.
