  • Given the outperformance, it's not surprising popular tech stocks are among the biggest market winners of the last five years.
  • Here’s how much $1,000 invested in each of the following stocks back in 2017 would be worth today.

The last five years were a great time to invest.

Virtually anything investors have touched has turned to gold since 2017, and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF SPY total return over that stretch is 108.2%.

High-growth tech stocks have been some of the best performers in the market over that five-year stretch. In fact, the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund XLK has nearly doubled the S&P 500’s gains, generating a 205% total return over the last five years.
