Image source: Getty Images I've had dogs all my life, from big working farm dogs to pocket-sized chihuahuas, and now, a whole gaggle of terriers. But, because I've had them all my life, I never really stopped to think about what it cost to have them, I just…had them -- and sorted the cost out later. But my crew is now completely composed of seniors, and they're all much older than any dog I've ever had before in my life (three of which are over 11 years).

Actually, they were just OK, but it serves as a reminder that investing -- at least in the short-term -- is sometimes all about narratives.

Shares surged in 2020 as Tesla proved it could be viable, turning a profit and making it clear that EVs were the way of the future.

It's tempting to follow that trend and park your cash in some risk-free T-bills or CDs, but the best tech stocks will still likely outperform those fixed-income investments over the long term. If you can tune out all the near-term noise, you should pick up a few tech stocks that have the potential to generate big market-beating returns over the long term.
