Investors who have owned stocks in the past year generally have experienced some decent gains. In fact, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust''s (NYSE: SPY ) total return in the past 12 months is 16.6%. But there is no question some big-name stocks performed better than others along the way. Dollar Tree''s Big Year: One company that has been a great investment in the past year is dollar store giant Dollar Tree, Inc. (NASDAQ: DLTR ). From 2010 to 2019, Dollar Tree underwent a rapid period of expansion, growing its store footprint from around 4,000 locations to more than 16,000 stores in 44 different U.S. states. Part of that significant growth included an $8.5 billion buyout of Family Dollar back in 2015.

Salesforce.com Inc.''s stock rose 0.2% in afternoon trading Tuesday, and was one of just four of 30 Dow Jones Industrial Average components gaining ground, ahead of the customer-relationship-management software company''s fiscal fourth-quarter results due out after the closing bell. An options strategy known as a straddle is priced for a one-day post-earnings price move of $18.42 in either direction on Wednesday, or about a 36% bigger move than the average move over the past 12 quarters of $13.50, according to data provided by Option Research & Technology Services (ORATS) Principal Matt Amberson. A straddle is a pure volatility play -- not directional -- that involves the simultaneous purchase of bullish (calls) and bearish (puts) at-the-month options that expire at the end of the week. Based on the current stock price of $210.85, straddle buyers wouldn''t start making money unless the stock rises above $229.27 on Wednesday or falls below $192.43. The company has beat profit and revenue estimates for at least the past 20 quarters, according to FactSet, but the stock has gained the day after those earnings reports just 10 times.

Oil prices soared on Tuesday and investors shifted more money into ultra-safe US government bonds as Russia stepped up its war on Ukraine. Stocks fell following a volatile day for major indexes as investors tried to measure how the conflict will impact the global economy. The S&P 500 index fell 0.7 per cent as of 10:14 am Eastern. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 337 points, or 1 per cent, to 33,554 and the Nasdaq fell 0.5 per cent.

The latest bump in prices increases pressure on persistently high inflation that threatens households around the world. US benchmark crude oil prices rose 6.6 per cent to USD 101.87 per barrel, reaching the highest price since 2014. Brent crude, the international standard, rose 6.6 per cent to USD 104.44. Russia''s invasion of Ukraine has also put more pressure on

Stocks continue to retreat as Russia continues its siege on Kyiv.
