3 Value Stocks That'll Make You Richer in April (and Beyond)
It's a debate that's almost as old as the stock market itself: Growth versus value -- which is better?
Since the end of the Great Recession, growth stocks have run circles around value stocks. That's because historically low lending rates have allowed fast-paced companies to borrow cheaply to hire, innovate, and acquire.
However, it's value stocks that have the edge over the long run. A Bank of America/Merrill Lynch report released in 2016 found that value stocks averaged an annual gain of 17% over a 90-year stretch (1926-2015), while growth stocks delivered an impressive, but nevertheless lower, 12.6% annualized return over the same time span.
