Investors who placed their hard-earned cash into major US indices have enjoyed respectable returns over the past 5 years. Despite two market corrections — the recent market correction partially generated by the Russia-Ukraine war and the stock market crash of 2020, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NASDAQ: SPY (NYSE:SPY)), Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ: QQQ) and SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (NASDAQ: NYSE:DIA) have returned 67.23%, 110.71% and 54.90% respectively.

As good as investors in the major U.S. indices have had it over the past five years, a number of the world’s most popular consumer discretionary, tech and clean energy manufacturing 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.

Winners Since May 2017: According to data from Benzinga Pro, here’s how much $100 in each of the following stocks and cryptocurrencies bought back in spring 2017 would be worth today:

  • GameStop Corp . (NYSE: NYSE:GME): $576.15
  • Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:AMD): $898.65
  • NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:NVDA): $495.58
  • Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA): $1,075.63
  • Apple Inc (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:AAPL): $371.17
  • Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ: PLUG): $2,184.16
  • Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE): $2,548.39
