The battle of growth versus value investing rages on in 2010. Growth stocks represent companies whose better-than-average earnings gains raise the expectation they'll continue to deliver high profit growth. Value stocks are out-of-favor stocks considered bargains based on their book value or liquidation value. They're cheap because they've struggled, but may have better days ahead.
These distinct investment personalities move in cycles, one dominating for a period before being overtaken by the other. And then it starts all over again. It's the circle of life in the stock market.

Last year we saw the market grow at a frenetic pace after hitting a record low in which the lower quality stocks that had blown up in 2008 came back the most in 2009. But growth valuations got quite stretched, especially with the tech run up, and you could see value stocks do better than growth stocks this year.
Over the past 12 months, large-cap growth mutual funds are up 34 percent, while large-cap value funds gained 30 percent. Meanwhile, small-cap growth funds have risen 39 percent and small-cap value funds are up 43 percent. All good numbers, though admittedly coming off a low beginning base. Technology was the prime mover in growth, and growth investors expect that party to continue.

Technology was really good, and it can continue to be good in 2010. The valuations are still very reasonable for even the high growth companies, the balance sheets are great and the companies are cash rich with good cash flow.
