The S&P 500 index gained 25% in 2024, though the Magnificent 7 stocks (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla) provided 53.7% of the return. The other 493 S&P 500 stocks went up by just 11.58%.  [Print and Download the newsletter here](https://reyndersmcveigh.com/s/The-Long-Run-January-2025.pdf) - ## [Jamie Hobkirk quoted in Yahoo!
