Investors who placed their hard-earned cash into major U.S. indices have enjoyed respectable returns over the past five years. Despite two market corrections in recent years, the recent market downturn partially generated by the Russia-Ukraine war and the previous stock market crash of 2020, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF SPY, Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 QQQ and SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust DIA have returned 70.07%, 115.46% and 56.70%.
As good as investors in the major U.S. indices have had it over the past ten years, a number of the world’s most popular consumer discretionary, EV and tech stocks have provided even better returns. Bulls that took a chance on these names were rewarded with gains that outperformed much of the broader market.
