The past year has been marked by a skyrocketing rally in high-growth technology stocks that followed a pandemic-led market correction last March. Investors parked their money in technology-based growth stocks as a  bet against market uncertainty. This is evidenced by the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 Growth ETF’s (SPYG) 72.3% gain over the past year.
