Out With the Old? Looking Back At How 2020’s Biggest Winners Performed In 2021. ☕
2020 was a wild year for growth stocks and “retail-popular stocks,” but 2021 struck a different tone with investors. How did the biggest winners perform in 2021? 🤔 💡
To understand growth stock performance, you can look at the Russell 2000 index, which underperformed in comparison to its cousin indexes (+15.7% YTD). Another unconventional (but interesting) way of examining stocks popular among retail investors is to look at the Top 100 stocks on Robinhood, which is a representative list of “retail popular stocks.” This is by no means a replacement for our very own Stocktwits Top 25, 😉 but it’s a different measure of what traders might deem valuable.
