Tesla has beaten bitcoin in the past year – just like 124 others in the S&P 500

[ad_1]

It might shock bitcoin fans: 125 components of the S&P 500 have made investors more money in the past year than they have.

One is Tesla TSLA, which started 2022 with a 13.5% increase after the electric vehicle maker announced 2021 deliveries that nearly doubled in volume in 2020; it has gained 64% in the last year. But the same goes for less glamorous stocks like Marathon Oil Corp. MRO and Extra Space Storage Inc. EXR.
