How do you identify a potential torpedo?

A torpedo is an investment that goes up several fold. So, how do you identify such a potential torpedo?
There’s a process and following a few important principles will dramatically impact your investment returns.

Here are 6 characteristics of potential torpedos:

1. They are tremendous innovators

2. They generate excellent sales growth

3. They protect their margins with patents, brands and trademarks

4. They beat consensus estimates

5. They are a start-up, small cap or may be midcap companies

6. They are relatively unknown

Have on mind that a torpedo is usually smaller, sometimes unprofitable and almost always more volatile. These stocks are meant to be held longer term and rough rides should be sit out.
