Trying to answer this question is turning out to be a lot more work than I thought, but I finally found an online tool to help a little more.
What were the top 10 performing SP500 stocks in the last 5 years?
Other than AMD, NVDA and TSLA, any ideas? Sure, I could look up each of the 500 stocks using Google Finance and sort it, but I'm not going to do that. And the only thing I know for sure is that they're the highest performing ones I've found so far and Tesla wasn't in the SP500 at the beginning of the period. I can't imagine them not being at the top, but haven't proven it exhaustively.
Getting performance results for the component stocks in the SP500 for more than 1 year or YTD has been challenging but the Ally TradeKing does "5-Year Price Performance (%).
https://research.tradeking.com/research ... reener.asp
It found 338 matches more than 1000% and 129 matches more than 3000% (so 209 results between 10x and 30x). There are many problems with the list generated (penny stocks, not on major exchanges, mistaken names, etc.; Zoom Technologies ZTNO poped up on the list was likely confused with ZM), but it's a start. Sorting them by market cap, candidates like SQ, MTCH, RNG, TDOC, ETSY can be cross-matched to the SP500 but I didn't find any of these top performers in the index.
