The S&P/TSX Composite Index plunged 532 points on Monday, June 13. That represented the second-worst point retreat of the year. Canadians should be eager to jump on discount opportunities in this environment. Indeed, the 2020 market pullback illustrated how rewarding the buy-the-dip strategy still is in this new decade. Today, I want to look at four growth stocks that could pay off big if you choose to snatch them up in this market correction before the summer season.
This reeling growth stock is an underrated pick on the TSX StorageVault Canada (TSX:SVI) is a Toronto-based company that owns, manages, and rents self-storage and portable storage spaces across Canada.
