The Nasdaq Composite has returned over 300 percent since March 2009 lows. Yes, not all of the individual stocks have performed as well as this. But, those who have kept their eye on the ball and added good stocks to their portfolio can demonstrate that the Nasdaq Composite is not a defined measure of market performance.
On March 9, 2009 the index was low, trading at 1,265.05 points. Today, the index is trading at over 6,500 points. That is an increase of over more than 400% in just 8 years.
The growth has been fueled by a variety of factors, such as the innovation of tech companies like Amazon and Apple, the increasing investments in technology companies, and the rising demand for new and innovative products and services across the board.
The Nasdaq Composite has also been strengthened by a recovering stock market, with low interest rates and supportive economic policies helping sustain investor sentiment. Many of the stocks that compose the index are technology firms that have benefitted from increasing margin provided by the growth of the smartphone and app-based economy.
Business expansions, technological advancements, and mergers and acquisitions have also boosted the index. Corporate restructuring and new business policies have also been beneficial to the Nasdaq Composite.
The index is not, however, a perfect measure of market performance. While the Nasdaq Composite has grown in value, some stocks have not done nearly as well. Some stocks can still be found trading at a loss compared to their values in 2009. As with any equity investment, it is important to research which stocks are best suited to your investment goals in order to ensure optimal returns.
