As someone who has taken an active interest in the stock market in recent years, for a range of reasons, I’ve noticed an apparent gap in readily available and relevant information in the market place about a particular group of stocks—that is those stocks that show exceptional outperformance in the growth of their stock price, relative to the market overall.
