I'm in total agreement. Some investors like the 'security' of div/yield stocks.
Others (like me) prefer to have my capital working hard.
Here's an example to consider..............
Back in 2017 in an interesting coincidence, three different companies spiked my attention and I placed them in my watch list.
The following chart shows the % cap gains returns since (if you add in the HLG divs it reaches about 100% gain... roughly speaking. )

Of course this is backward looking and the future performance of these shares may be much different..... but it does highlight what Biscuit is saying.
