Boomers of the 90s

Article Abstract:

There are a number of stocks that have performed well during the 1990s as a result of increasing sales. Growth stocks have been important for investors at the end of this decade. Value investing has become less fashionable, and the strong performance of growth stocks relates more to popularity with investors than the performance of the companies concerned in terms of fundamental prospects. Growth stocks were seen as those that showed good underlying earnings growth, but this has changed as investors have sought out stocks where profitability has not yet been achieved, and have paid high prices for these stocks.
