$XPeng Inc.(XPEV)$ As a long-term investor, the current year might be among the best times to buy growth stocks. Sentiment has been pessimistic considering macro-economic and geo-political factors. As a result, some high-quality growth stocks have fallen into a deep correction. A simple investing rule is to buy when fear is the dominant sentiment. Of course, I would go slow and hold a balance of growth and large-cap stocks in the portfolio.
