Earnings Growth Monsters...

When earnings growth slows, it often highlights the growth monsters—companies with extremely powerful growth drivers that continue to generate earnings when everyone else decelerates.

Growth monsters are more apparent when everyone else is slowing down.


Relative strength tends to identify growth monsters very effectively. Below is a table of the top performing stocks in the S&P 500 and the S&P Midcap 400 for the trailing 12 months.
