Booyah Breakdown: Growth Stocks

 

The Terminator is considered one of the most influential action and science-fiction films of all time. And as Arnold Schwarzenegger's physique got bigger and bigger, so did his popularity. His growth was on fire, and as a result, he commanded more money to revive his cyborg assassin character in Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

Think of Arnold as a growth stock.

In his July 6 "Mad Money" show, Jim Cramer said that "Pure, unadulterated, oxygenated growth is back." Growth stocks are where you should be these days, he says.

He pointed to Research In Motion as one of his choices for a tech growth stock, along with his other faves: Google , Amazon.com and Apple

Cramer believes your portfolio should get pumped up with growth stocks, and the Booyah Breakdown is going to show you how. So think of me as Sarah Connor (I wish!), helping you find some Terminator picks.

The Arnold Schwarzenegger Stocks

Shares in a company whose earnings are expected to grow at an above-average rate relative to the market are considered growth stock shares.

"So you're looking for a stock that has a high percentage of growth in sales and revenue from one period to the next," says Dan Noll, director of accounting standards at the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

Basically, you want a company on steroids.
