New investor here and I have been researching growth and dividend stocks.
It's obvious why someone would want to own dividend stocks as you get a clear percentage return, however what is the incentive to own growth stocks, like Alphabet?
The value of these stocks will rise on the secondary market when people want to buy more of the stock, but why does anyone want more besides because others want more? It feels like cyclical value, superficially rooted in how well the company is doing on paper.
Is there something I'm missing like shareholder voting ability?
