My practice portfolios happen to own 2 companies in the above list of growth stocks. CNOOC and Baidu are both in my “China” practice portfolio. This portfolio was created automatically by Kapitall. This was done by:

• Selecting Create New (Practice) Portfolio
• Selecting “Chinese Stocks” under “Type of Practice Portfolio Holdings”

Particularly worth noting is that Mitsui, Discovery Communications, and Flextronics have a debt ratio of 50.2%, 44.58%, and 48.88% respectively. With recent monetary easing in Europe and infrastructure spending in China increasing, debt levels will be less a concern for investors.

With many of the growth stocks down recently, investors should watch for a rebound in these stocks. The preferred way to watch them is to save this list and monitor for increases in sales and profit in future quarters.
