Growth & Income Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: NUS)

Nu Skin Enterprises is in the late stages of a restructuring program that has enabled it to pursue new business in the potentially lucrative Chinese markets of Beijing and Shanghai. While this development did slightly dampen its most recent quarterly results with a hefty one-time charge, it also provides the company with a very nice opportunity to cash in on the emerging-market growth cycle.

Momentum Darling International, Inc. (NYSE: DAR)

Darling International, Inc. has been quite a growth story for investors over the last couple of years, and that momentum does not appear to be subsiding.
