Looking at the trend of US tech giants in 2025, the profit curve is indeed quite steep.

Let's list some key data:
Google started the year at 142 and shot up to 315, nearly a 1.2x increase; NVIDIA went from 86 to 189, a 122% rise, and the story of computing power continues; Tesla soared from 214 to 482, a 126% increase based on numbers alone; Meta steadily rose from 480 to 664, adding 38% in chips; Microsoft moved from 344 to 486, a 41% increase; Apple grew from 169 to 272, a 61% increase; Amazon climbed from 161 to 232, a 44% rise.

Careful observation reveals an interesting pattern in this wave of market movement: the ones with the most aggressive gains are mostly those heavily betting on the AI track; while the more stable growth companies are all those with particularly abundant cash flow.

Actually, you don't need to study the concept of tenfold returns every day, nor bet on narrative reversals, nor stare at K-line charts 24/7. Just two conditions are enough: first, choosing the mainstream direction of the era; second, holding steady without frequent trading. With this, a 40% to 120% annual return in US stocks is nothing extraordinary.

Compared to the crypto world, the difference is obvious. Crypto markets often go crazy when emotions run high, crash when they fall, and volatility feels like a roller coaster. In contrast, US stocks appear more composed, more like a game of using time to exchange for stability.

No wonder more and more investors are pondering this saying: The money in US stocks is really easier to make than in the crypto circle, and it also makes the mindset much more relaxed.
