Polestar Automotive (NASDAQ: PSNY) hasn't impressed investors since its public debut last June. The electric vehicle maker went public by merging with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), and its stock opened at $12.98 on the first day. But today Polestar's stock trades at about $4. Like many other SPAC-backed EV makers, Polestar drove away the bulls by overpromising and underdelivering.

The U.S. economy has consistently produced the world's most valuable companies, but the industries leading the way tend to change over time. For example, United States Steel became the first $1 billion company on the planet in 1901. But it has only grown to a $5.5 billion valuation in the 122 years since then, with hundreds of other companies leaving it in the dust.

Drug companies Merck (NYSE: MRK) and AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) have been two of the best pharmaceutical investments, easily delivering better total returns than the S&P 500 average over the past three, five, and 10 years.
