For this discussion, we define value stocks as those common stocks issued by companies that analysts deem to be undervalued and likely worth more than their current fair market value. These stocks typically pay dividends. Growth stocks represent companies that focus on continuous growth at a rate faster than the overall market and typically have higher earnings, as indicated by higher P$/$E ratios and a lack of dividend payouts. Which investment do you prefer and why?

Think about dividends vs capital gains. Additionally, trends often make headlines in the industry, highlighting the track record of value from a preceding decade or growth in comparison.
