These stocks are clearly for aggressive growth investors with a ton of risk tolerance and a long-term time horizon. With those caveats in place, all these top companies could be poised for mega growth in the coming years. Just remember though that these stocks are extremely volatile, have all rallied big and likely still will have wild price swings. If investors can tolerate that, they could be in for some massive gains in the coming years.
