Let’s face it: this year has been a tough one for share investors. Growth stocks have tumbled in price as the NASDAQ Composite Index enters a bear market, down close to 27% year to date. Well-known names such as Nike (NYSE: NKE) and Google’s Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) have declined by 36% and 28%, respectively.
