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.

You should remain wary of stocks that attract broker/media attention because of high-profile products or services, and their business models. Here’s a closer look at one stock with risks that prospective investors should take into consideration:
PONY AI INC. (ADR), $10.99, (Nasdaq symbol PONY; TSINetwork Rating: Speculative) (www.pony.ai; ADRs o/s: 352.5 million; Market cap: $5.0 billion; No divd.) is based in Silicon Valley, but also has headquarters in Guangzhou, China. On November 26, 2024, Pony launched its IPO on Nasdaq.
The company is a China-based autonomous driving startup founded in 2016. It operates Pony Pilot, a mobile app that operates a fleet of 1,159 Toyota and Lexus robotaxis in four Chinese cities.

Instead, it makes the sensors and software that lets cars become autonomous.

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.
