If You Invested $1000 In This Stock 10 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

An investor recently posed a simple but striking question in Reddit&#8217;s <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1ltmuuz/boring_stocks_with_techlike_returns/">r/stocks</a> forum: What are the &#8220;&#8216;boring&#8217; stocks with tech-like returns?&#8221;
&#8220;Everybody is chasing the next AI hype,&#8221; they said, mentioning companies like Palantir (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), Rocket Lab&nbsp; (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKLB#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>) and even semiconductors. When someone mentions semiconductors, they typically refer to companies that design or manufacture these chips, like Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), or Intel (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>).&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investors Are Digging Into Industrial, Insurance And Grocery Stocks</h2>
Plenty of Reddit users responded with names most mainstream investors overlook. These weren't meme stocks or hot IPOs, but legacy industrials, auto parts retailers, and HVAC firms.
&#8220;Before the most recent sell-off Berkshire was at 194% in 5 years,&#8221; one investor noted about Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>, BRK.B)). &#8220;Sitting at 165% right now. Better than all the Mag 7 except Nvidia and Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>). Boring as hell and doing rock solid.&#8221;
Several mentioned Parker-Hannifin (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PH#NYSE">PH</a>), which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/07/46255383/1000-invested-in-parker-hannifin-10-years-ago-would-be-worth-this-much-today">specializes in motion and control technologies</a>.

One user summed up the appeal by asking: &#8220;How many people on the planet took a sh&#x2A;t this morning, and/or turned on the heat or AC?&#8221; The message: boring businesses that keep infrastructure running are everywhere, and often profitable.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>

&#8220;I inherited FIX which had done VERY well,&#8221; one user said. &#8220;But I sold it for very petty and personal reasons lol.&#8221;
Casey's General Stores (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CASY#NASDAQ">CASY</a>), a convenience store chain with more than 2,900 locations, was called out as a quiet outperformer.

Others nodded to Fairfax Financial, a Canadian insurer with a 500% return in five years.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Steady Can Still Win</h2>
While the tech crowd continues to ride waves of speculation, some long-term investors are betting on plumbing, autoparts, fertilizer, and insurance. As one investor in the thread put it, &#8220;Unless we have Armageddon tomorrow, yes, absolutely&#8221; these companies are still worth buying.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Insights From Analysts:
Highlighting that the S&amp;P 500 index continues to be in a bull market, which began in October 2022, Ryan Detrick from Carson Research said in an X post that the third year of a bull market is mostly &#8220;choppy,&#8221; based on historical data.
Detrick said that, based on his 50-year analysis, five past bull markets persisted for at least this duration, with the shortest of those lasting a full five years.
"The five bulls that made it into year 3 tended to see chop and frustration at some point," he said, adding, "That's the bad news. The good news is once you get past that (and I think we did this time), better times are coming."

Furthermore, he drew attention to the 11-year bull market that ran from March 2009 to February 2020, pointing out its encounter with a near-bear market midway through its third year.
"This current bull market had a near bear market in the middle of year 3," he said, talking about the ongoing bull market which began in October 2022.

Meanwhile, Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates explained that June is the time for Russell's annual index realignment. Every Friday in June, Russell announces its proposed Russell 1000 and 2000 index changes, which are fine-tuned each week.
The stocks that are added to both the Russell 1000 and 2000 indices naturally benefit from index accumulation and the institutional managers that like to "track" indices.
&#8220;After Friday, June 27th, the Russell index realignment will be finalized, and many stocks being added to the Russell indices will &#8216;pop&#8217; on Monday, June 30th,&#8221; he said.
Talking about his expectation from the May&#8217;s inflation print, he said, &#8220;It will be interesting if the deflationary forces in the past few months persist, since that would put more pressure on the Fed to cut key interest rates.
&#8220;There are also Treasury bond auctions on Wednesday and Thursday that will be carefully monitored, especially the bid-to-cover ratios and the "tail" on the auctions that could cause bond yields to rise,&#8221; he stated.
