Growth Investing

See: Growth Firm. That's who you want to invest in.

Things like venture capital and private equity investing are the Extreme Redbull Sponsored X Games end of the growth investing landscape.

And yes, sometimes they end up like the losers in The X Games: crashed into a building or a snow bank or whatever. Goes with the turf. Or the flamethrowers.
