You could wish and pray and hope that it becomes that environment once again.
Or you can live in reality.
That’s up to you.

These stocks range from the mega-cap growth behemoths like Apple and Microsoft – with market caps in excess of $2T – to some of the new-age large-cap disruptors such as Moderna, Square, and Snap.
It has all the big names and more.
It doesn’t include ADRs or any stock not domiciled in the US. But don’t worry; we developed a separate universe for that which you can check out here.

Let’s dive right in and check out what these big boys are up to.
