I guess not growth, but the potential for growth - as an investor, it's what I look for. If growth is already happening, then it's likely already priced in. If growth is not expected to happen, then unless there's a generous dividend, there is no reason to hold a stock. But if as an investor, you thought Twitter (when public) was primed for growth, it might have made a good bet as an investment. As it stands, I don't see it having any potential for growth, but again, the Twitter example is moot, as it's not public.
