Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI) has been one of the hottest stocks on the market over the past year, with astronomical gains of 722%. That means that a $100,000 investment made in this server manufacturer a year ago is now worth more than $820,000. If Super Micro stock can keep up its momentum and head higher -- which it seems capable of doing -- it may be able to turn that investment into a million dollars in what would be a very short period.

The U.S. stock market has been dominated by large-cap growth stocks ever since the Federal Reserve began to increase interest rates in March 2022. This trend can be explained by two factors. First, established companies with a strong competitive advantage usually do not need to borrow money to fund their growth, so they are less sensitive to the Fed's interest rate actions.

However, for those still bullish, the decline may be a hiccup rather than a sign of a longer-term downtrend.
