Growth style vs Value style

I feel both value and growth have their own values and risk involved. However, most of the reasons are mentioned by our other friends but i feel if one can calculate and find the right value stock then there is nothing better than that. Value stocks returns are quicker and better when the right stock has been identified by the investor. I could conclude saying " all the value stocks are growth stocks(faster growth) but all the growth stocks are not value stocks "  .... Thank you, Manish N

Cheers!!

If you look closely, Value Style could be a strategy adopted comparatively for a long run (as you see that currently the stock is undervalued and could benefit when industry picks up or positive correction occurs). Whereas, Growth strategy is adopted looking at current success and immediate return.

Considering this, a right investing style can be determined.I see a little risk in Growth lesser risk in Value.

The value/growth blend approach to investing requires the use of the valuation metrics described previously as well as a utilizing certain growth criteria. While most of the valuation metrics utilize hard facts, the growth aspect is much more difficult to understand. No one knows what will happen in the future. If someone says they do, run for the hills. If an investor views the world economy as a whole, though, he or she can get a pretty good sense of macro-economic trends likely to be significant in the next few years. This is not an exact science, and requires much research and a vast amount of economic knowledge. When performing this test, it becomes apparent that there are several industries that will most likely see prolonged growth in the next decade.

Value investing is investing in liquid stocks where the stocks have their intrinsic value due to their potential. These may be characterized by higher percentage holdings by promoters like any multinational companies, high product flexibilities like oil & gas, high dividend pay outs like PSUs, high liquidity and growth like infrastructure stocks. Many people also consider investing in selected stocks in those sectors which are compulsory for any nation's growth like Cement, FMCG, Steel, Power etc. where during any policy changes, government takes care of these sectors for growth.
