Growth Stocks
Although growth stock picks can be highly volatile, they can make good long-term investments. They may be well-known stars or quiet gems, but they do share one common attribute—they are growing at a higher-than-average rate within their industry, or within the market as a whole, and could keep growing for years or decades.
And keep in mind that we focus on growth stocks, which have a good long-term history and favourable prospects. We downplay momentum stocks that tend to attract many investors simply because they are moving faster than the market averages, but are liable to fall sharply when their momentum fades.
There’s room for growth stock investing in your portfolio, but make sure you follow our TSI Network three-part Successful Investor strategy for your overall portfolio:
- Invest mainly in well-established companies;
- Spread your money out across most if not all of the five main economic sectors (Manufacturing & Industry; Resources & Commodities; Consumer; Finance; Utilities);
- Downplay or avoid stocks in the broker/media limelight.

SIX FLAGS ENTERTAINMENT CORP. $7.07 (www.sixflags.com) is a hold. The company operates 20 amusement parks, 14 water parks and 9 resort properties in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The stock has dropped 40% in the past month following a fatal roller coaster accident at a park in Georgia. As a result, the company has shut down similar rides at its other parks. The incident could hurt attendance and earnings, which would make it harder for the company to pay down its long-term debt of $4.97 billion (as of June 30, 2026). That’s a high 6.2 times its $804.2 million market cap. Six Flags Entertainment is a hold.
RTX continues to receive strong orders for its Tomahawk air-to-air missiles and other military hardware as the Iran war depletes U.S. inventories.

VISA INC. $408 has received approval from the Chinese government to begin setting up a domestic bank card clearing institution.

Right now, the company can only clear foreign-currency cross-border transactions.
It will probably take at least a year before Visa can begin processing domestic transactions in China.

Shares of Cisco Systems have jumped over 50% in the past year. That’s due to strong demand for its computer networking equipment from the builders of new datacentres to run complex artificial intelligence (AI) programs.
Even after these facilities are up and running, Cisco will continue to benefit from ongoing upgrades needed to handle new and faster AI models. The company also typically bundles its hardware with its cybersecurity software. The result is strong recurring revenue that cuts its risk.

Understanding our recommendations: Power Buy—These stocks are our top choices for new buying now. We feel each currently offers the best combination of fundamentals (earnings, sales, cash flow and so on) plus external factors (industry trends and the current share price) to give it a chance of above-average gains. Buy—high-quality stocks with strong growth prospects. However, they are likely to grow at a slower rate than our Power Buys. Sell—these are stocks that no longer inspire our confidence. As Power Growth Investor focuses on maximizing profits for aggressive investors, we prefer to sell poorly performing stocks instead of holding them and waiting for a rebound. TP—Take Profits; these are more aggressive stocks that have given us a quick return and we therefore recommend investors lock in a gain by selling all or part of their holdings. That also frees up cash for new investment in our Power Buys.
