Value and Growth: Two sides of the same coin
Roger Montgomery
April 28, 2021
One of today’s big debates is whether share markets are falling out of love with so-called ‘growth’ stocks and falling back in love with ‘value’ stocks. It can be worth paying attention to broad shifts in sentiment, but I think there is little utility in trying to divide stocks into these two arbitrary categories.
