Best Growth Stocks To Buy And Watch

What To Do Now

The stock market’s back-and-forth action over the past several months has been tricky. Very recent buys may be working but may not continue to do so if the indexes roll over for a few days

The outperformance in NYSE-listed stocks — as well as the Dow Jones, Russell 2000 and RSP hitting record highs — is a strong signal to have at least a significant portion of your portfolios outside of tech.

Keep working on watchlists. It may be a favorable environment for making small buys, at most, but it’s also important to make those moves quickly.
