These 6 Top Dividend Stocks Starting To Take-Off

Growth is good because it grows the value of your assets too. I ever told that only a growing stock is good but you can only make money with growth stocks if you pay reasonable prices for them.

The market is highly valuated, that’s news from the recent quarters and more than true. With P/E multiples above 20, you need high growth to justify this values.

Today, I’ve created a screen for you that are based on momentum growth. I’ve discovered stocks with double digit earnings and sales growth.
