“The US500 index did incredibly well in 2021, mainly thanks to companies like Apple, which has reached a market cap of close to $3 trillion and whose share price has skyrocketed by 40%, Microsoft, whose share price rose by 53% on an annual basis, Amazon (7% increase), Alphabet (68% increase) and, of course, Tesla (64% increase). That being said, I won’t be discussing these companies here, but rather the ones that really took the index to the next level in 2021.”

For perspective, the average mid-2017 value was just 3.5 to the dollar, yet the lira has somehow managed to lose more than 40% of its value against the U.S. dollar this year alone!

“Investors are looking for the next Tesla and Rivian promotes itself as its major rival, but is far from it. In fact, Rivian looks more like a startup than a company ready to launch its own IPO.”
