Brian Dress, director of research at Left Brain Investment Research, discusses what makes a small- or mid-cap stock a true 'wealth builder,' the kind of long-term grower that can change both portfolios and lives, ahead of Left Brain's April 8 Fortune Makers Zoom event featuring 'Wealth Builders.' He singles out tax-collection and compliance firm Avalara (AVLR) as a stock that the firm likes and has a 'green light' rating on, but which finished just outside of the cut for the ideas that will be featured in the Zoom meeting. He notes that Avalara has a thesis that could easily run five to 10 more years of strong growth.
