I'd like to get your thoughts about this controversial issue.

Let's assume that there are two firms, A and B. Firm B has grown at the rate of 30% over the past year. I mean its total assets has increased by 30% during the year 2020.

On the other hand, fim A has contracted by 5%, in other words, its assets has declined by 5%.

Which firm would you be more willing to invest in the stock market for 2021? Which one you think will perform better in the stock market? Past high growth firms vs. past contracting firms. Why do you think so?

Please give opinions on this issue. Provide any thoughts, inquiries, or citations. Thank you!
