Here were the top and the best investments (stocks and crypto) you could have made in 2021. Surprisingly the best stock is not Tesla, and the best crypto is not Bitcoin and Ethereum - they didn't even make the list! Here are the top 8 stocks that did.

I looked at the 8 best performing stocks year to date and coming in at"

Number 8 is ticker symbol CAR which is AVIS, this stock is up 500% this year, they made over $1 billion of adjusted earnings and $674 million of net income partially thanks to inflation and the rise of rental cars this year which went up by over 43% this year alone.

Number 7 is Vertex Energy ticker symbol VTNR - this stock is up 523% - this company is a specialty refiner of alternative feedstocks and marketer of high-purity petroleum products. Part of the reason why the stock went up no doubt is because fuel oil is up 59.3% thanks to inflation but this year they’ve bought a new refinery and Vertex believes it "will have the potential to generate at least $3 billion in annual sales and $400 million of gross profit annually beginning in 2023 which gets investors excited which is why the price of the stock has popped.

Number 6 is Cassava Sciences ticker symbol SAVA - I think that’s French for “it goes” - or Russian for OWL - true story - this stock is up 547% and this is a clinical-stage biotech stock that is trying to cure Alzheimer’s. This is a controversial company - as with many pharmaceutical companies because they were accused of manipulating their own research results.

Number 5 is AEHR - this stock is up 745% year to date. Aehr Test Systems develops, manufactures, and sells systems which are designed to reduce the cost of testing Dynamic Random Access Memory and other memory devices with their patented semiconductor technology.

Number 4 is GME. Gamestop. This stock was on fire this year making investors a huge 781% year to date and that’s because of the APE ARMY. This year the retail driven investors along with communities like Wall Street Bets took this company by storm when they supported their fight against hedge funds like Citadel. Once the ape community discovered that this poor company was being destroyed by big money, they started to buy the stock in mass creating what’s called a short squeeze.

Number 3 is another retail favorite - AMC which is up over 1,036% in 1 year. If you invested $10,000 at the beginning of the year, you would have roughly 113,600 today. After retail investors found out that betting on the most shorted stocks in the market made them money, they found the next best stock - AMC. Hedge Funds that shorted this company started to bleed hundreds of millions of dollars. In June of this year alone, there was a single day where short sellers lost over 500 million dollars betting against AMC.

Number 2 is LWLG - Lightwave Logic Inc, this stock is up over 1,601% - crazy - this is a technology platform company, leveraging its proprietary technology to develop next-generation electro-optic polymers which increase the efficiency of internet infrastructure by converting data into optical signals, allowing more data to be transmitted at significantly higher speeds and with less power than existing solutions.

Number 1 is a stock that’s up close to 2,000% and that is Destination XL Group which is a clothing retailer. They’ve crushed it this year and if you had invested $10,000 at the beginning of the year, today you’d have roughly $200,000.
