Best growth stocks

 Growth stock are something all investors should be looking for. Earnings growth is the heart of a great stock. When the earnings are going up the price of the stock will move accordingly. If the earnings are going down then the price of the stock will fall. Traders know that they can short a stock if it is falling. Stock brokers will have stock screeners that can be set up to screen growth stocks.
 There are no set guides to what a trader can look for but a company that is having a twenty percent growth a year is outstanding. Another definition of a growth stock is that investors want to see earning increase each quarter. Traders want to see consistent earnings growth over each quarter. Remember not ever quarter is going to show some growth. Growth stocks at the end of the year will show a ever increasing growth of income.
 Many investors that invest in growth stocks will use a price earning multiple. They might compare two companies that produce the same product and compare which company is growing more. If the two companies show about the same P&E then they might not be the ones to buy stock in. Many growth stocks like Wall-mart, Coke-Cola are great examples of growth stocks. Many stocks have proven there worth and have made money for there investors. The best way is to compare companies using a stock screener is set the screener for five to ten percent returns each quarter.

Groupon (GRPN)

Groupon (GRPN) went from nothing to a $13 billion valuation, rejecting a $6 billion buyout offer from Google (GOOG), going public within three years, and sparking an epic gold rush in the daily deal space. Almost overnight, more than 900 clone sites launched around the world, serving virtually every imaginable niche and local market. Groupon appears to be rebounding from its post-IPO days as Wall Street's whipping boy after its stock plummeted to $10, half of its IPO price. Quarterly earnings beat consensus as the company reported revenues of $559 million, four percent above analyst estimates of $530 million. Earnings per share came in at $.02, double analyst forecasts. More good news for Groupon, it has been reported that mobile accounted for fifty percent of transactions, a positive development as the world shifts increasingly to mobile, especially in emerging markets.

Gold prices Silver prices Precious metals

Fear of high inflation. Central banks around the world have been aggressively expanding their balance sheets. When this started in late 2008, the consensus view was that this would cause inflation, and perhaps hyperinflation. This led to a surge in the interest in precious metals, and to many high-profile hedge fund managers buying gold to protect against it. The list is long: John Paulson, David Einhorn, George Soros. Fear of flat currencies gold as an alternative currency. "All currencies are in a race to zero" seemed the mantra for much of 2010-2011. The belief seemed widespread that in a desperate quest for growth there would be a  currency war, with the US as the instigator. If everyone was going to debauch their currencies, the word was holding gold which many have come to view as an alternative currency would be the natural area for your money.
Diversification and the dollar overhang. The global financial system has been massively dollar-centric for the past 60 years. Two things, around 2002, catalyzed a major diversification wave away from the dollar. The first was the plugging-into-the-grid of emerging markets . Brazil came back from the brink, China joined the WTO. The newly found growth and macro-economic stability in these countries led to them trusting their home currency more, and needing the dollar in which they were all heavily loaded a lot less. Dollar denominated funds joined the BRIC party, intensifying the decline in dollar demand.
