We are less than two weeks away from the end of 2019, and many investors are already celebrating a great year. As of this writing (Dec. 18), the S&P 500 has delivered almost 30% in total returns. That's not only a strong bounce back from a 2018 that saw stocks fall more than 4%, but it's also one of the best years we've seen in the past decade.
But I think savvy investors willing to take on some risk can still find incredible growth stocks. There are plenty of industries going through significant change, and most companies need help managing the technologies of the 21st century to remain competitive.
Before the calendar switches to 2020, I plan to buy Datadog (NASDAQ: DDOG) and Telaria (NYSE: TLRA). I'll be buying the former for the first time, and adding shares to my existing -- albeit small -- position in Telaria. Both of these companies are positioned for big profits in the years to come as demand for their services skyrockets.
