Best and Worst Performing Stocks of 2021

Winners 2021

 It has been a roller coaster ride  for US stocks this year, which have been whipsawed by the meme stcocks, reopening rallies, supply-chain issues, and new coronavirus delta and Omicorn variants.

However, S&P 500 still has notched 69 record closes for 2021 and returned around 30% year to date, thanks  to stellar corporate earnings and loose monetary policies.

Some of the biggest gainers were shale producers, which have benefited as oil prices surged more than 50%.
