Don’t count on dividends
Growth stocks pay few, if any, dividends, because profits are put back into the company to finance its continued growth. Investors who can forgo dividends, who can tolerate greater volatility, and who can be patient may be attracted to growth stocks. This is one example of when investors may employ a buy-and-hold approach.
Some sectors of the economy that experience growth are high technology, pharmaceuticals, and telecommunications.
