Growth companies seem to outperform when credit is contracting because they can access the equity markets to fund growth. Value companies tend to need bank financing and so tend to have more access to capital when credit is plentiful. Where are we now? The Fed rate is obviously going down but bank lending is more unclear.

I have to say I've mostly shunned growth in favour of value most of my investing career, but this club has opened me to investing in growth!
