growth vs value

marketnewbie said: "im confused about this whole concept? WHen you're invested (long) then you expect the financial instrument to go up? IS that growth since the price will grow? what's value then? :angry:"

rmelv said: "Neither of these terms have to do with the share price (well value in a way does). Both are referring to the earnings of the company. If the earnings of the company are double that of last year that is an example of a growth stock. If a company has a low PE, low debt to equity, strong margins, a moat, and decent enough growth it can be considered a value stock. This site is very useful.

rmelv said: "Yes most momentum names such as goog are growth stocks. CFC could be a value stock, if they don't go out of business haha."
