The Appeal of GARP Investing

Growth at a Reasonable Price (GARP) is highlighted as a compelling investment strategy that combines the benefits of growth and value investing.

By focusing on good companies at good prices, this approach allows investors to capture upside potential while mitigating risk. The podcast emphasizes that this investment philosophy is particularly relevant in the current market environment where small to mid-cap stocks present unique opportunities.
