Value Stocks vs. Growth Stocks: Which Way Should You Invest?

One of the most common nicknames for your retirement portfolio is "nest egg," but in the realm of food metaphors, it might be better to think of it like a holiday feast. So many dishes, so many choices, and to be healthy, you need to pick a properly balanced meal -- but also one that suits your personal tastes. So how should one do that? The answer comes under the heading "portfolio allocation," and it's the focus of this episode of Motley Fool Answers.

In this segment, hosts Alison Southwick and Robert Brokamp zoom in with a metaphor about that most Thanksgivingish of foods: cranberry sauce. Some of us like the kind from the can, some of us prefer homemade -- it’s really a question of your personal style. So too, is the question of whether your holdings should include more growth or value stocks. The Fools explain why this is one time when you don’t need to worry about choosing wrong.
