When it comes to investing, the road to wealth is paved by tech.
Case in point: When Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN) went public in 1997, its shares were priced at just $18, compared to nearly $1,600 today.
But that doesn't account for the stock splits along the way. In fact, it would have taken just $570 invested in AMZN at its IPO price to give you a total of $1 million today.
Those returns, according to The Wall Street Journal, have made Amazon the most profitable U.S. stock since 1926.
Of course, Amazon isn't the only tech company that's crushing the rest of the market. In fact, four of the five biggest wealth-creating stocks in modern history have been tech-oriented stocks.
More recently, the Nasdaq 100 Tech Index has outperformed the S&P 500 nearly twofold - with a 432% gain versus a 213% gain - since 2009. And that's just an average of these 100 companies. The best of them are performing even better.
Put simply, if you want to crush the market, you invest in tech.
