I had some thoughts and wrote the article you are seeing now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_review_at_the_end_of_2024\"><\/span>A review at the end of 2024<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is the end of the year again. Based on my personal opinion and the information I have collected, I found that there are several special data about the US stock market this year that I would like to share with you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The S&amp;P 500&#8217;s return in 2024 is 27.58%, which is almost the same as the Nasdaq&#8217;s 34.95%, which is a very rare situation in history.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The S&amp;P 500 index set a new historical high 57 times in 2024, which shows that the U.S. stock market is currently in a super bull market.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only 31% of the stocks in the S&amp;P 500 will outperform the index in 2024, and the only year in the past 35 years of U.S. stock history that was lower than this figure was 1998.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The S&amp;P 500 currently trades at 21.9 times one-year forward earnings, above its five-year average of 19.5 times. Current valuations for the S&amp;P 500 mean that many stocks are expensive by historical standards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This year&#8217;s U.S. stock market has been completely defined by artificial intelligence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On average, within the technology industry, software stocks underperformed semiconductor stocks for the first time; almost all semiconductor stocks rose sharply, with share prices repeatedly setting new historical highs for individual stocks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Electric power and energy stocks are experiencing a turn for the better. Due to the power shortage demand of artificial intelligence data centers, many electric power and energy stocks, which used to have an average price-to-earnings ratio of only about 10 times, have seen a sharp rise in their share prices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_performing_stocks_in_2024_S_P_500\"><\/span>Top performing stocks in 2024 S&amp;P 500<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the best performing stocks in the S&amp;P 500 as of December 12, 2024:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Ticker<\/td><td>Return rate<\/td><td>Post link in my blog<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>PLTR<\/td><td>326.32%<\/td><td>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2025\/03\/04\/value-and-problem-palantir\/\">The value of Palantir, pros and cons of Palantir investment<\/a>&#8220;,<br>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2021\/06\/14\/palantir-introduction\/\">What kind of company is Palantir?<\/a>&#8220;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>VST<\/td><td>276.64%<\/td><td>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2024\/05\/27\/vistra-a-turned-around\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Why did US largest electricity Vistra, a turned around company, share return higher than Nvidia?<\/a>&#8220;\u3000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>NVDA<\/td><td>177.34%<\/td><td>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2024\/09\/04\/nvidias-new-business\/#google_vignette\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nvidia&#8217;s new business set to grow its share price<\/a>&#8220;,<br>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2021\/06\/24\/nvidia-changes-gaming-rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How does nVidia make money, Nvidia is changing the gaming rules<\/a>&#8220;,<br>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2023\/12\/11\/nvidias-monopoly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The reasons for Nvidia\u2019s monopoly and the challenges it faces<\/a>&#8220;,<br>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2023\/07\/02\/revisiting-nvidia\/\">Revisiting Nvidia: The Absolute Leader in Artificial Intelligence, Data Center, and Graphics<\/a>&#8220;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>AXON<\/td><td>146.36%<\/td><td>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2024\/02\/12\/how-axon-make-money\/\">How does Axon, which has the global monopoly on police Taser guns, make money?<\/a>&#8220;\u3000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>GEV<\/td><td>135.65%<\/td><td>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2024\/04\/14\/ge-spinoff\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How did three listed companies make money after GE spinoff?
