If you plan to invest for a long time, growth stocks can increase your profits. However, they can be quite unstable, with big changes in value from year to year. Instead of choosing individual growth stocks, consider investing in an exchange-traded fund (ETF), which allows you to invest in many growth stocks at once with just one purchase.
