Barron’s (April 11)
“The stocks that have performed best over the past few years have seen a turn in fortune, while some of the worst performers are enjoying gains.” Of the 20 best-performing stocks in the Russell 1000 index between 2016 and 2021, “just three have seen gains in 2022” and on average the 20 stocks have “lost 22% so far this year.” At the other end of the spectrum, of the 20 worst-performers, “a majority—11—have gained this year.”
