Growth Stocks

I hold a portfolio of growth stocks within my Canadian equity allocation. The goal of this portfolio is to outperform XIC, the TSX Composite Index ETF. I target profitability and price momentum, with low dividends.

There are several motivations for this portfolio. I'm hoping to outperform the TSX index, and I want low dividends so that the return comes entirely from capital gains.

These are not stock recommendations or advice; I'm just sharing what I'm doing with my own money. I do NOT recommend duplicating what I'm doing here. Although I like this method, it may not be appropriate for other people, and might be deeply flawed.
