While this strategy worked for a while, the buzz around the industry eventually wore off and investors looking for high-growth stocks have had to look elsewhere.

Luckily for investors, there’s no shortage of small-cap growth companies that are up-and-coming businesses with huge potential.

These companies have solid momentum and are growing their businesses rapidly, so there’s a high possibility some or all could double in price by the end of the year.
