>FAAMG

Is that with Netflix swapped with Microsoft? If that's the case, we might as well change the entire acronym to GAMMA to account for the Facebook -> Meta rename.



Or we could simply not comply with their attempt to launder their reputation, and keep calling them Facebook.


No. FAANG is basically an eponym at this point. The companies that make up the acronym are irrelevant and they'll change overtime but the idea doesn't.

"FAANG is an acronym for the five best-performing American tech stocks in the market"


I remember when there were The Four Horsemen (apparently even two versions):

Around 2000, it was Microsoft, Intel, Dell, Cisco

Later, around 2007, it was Apple, RIMM (Research in Motion/Blackberry), Google, Amazon

F*** the MMAAAN:

Meta

Microsoft

Alphabet

Apple

Amazon

Netflix


Netflix never deserved to be in the same sentence as Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and Google. Their market influence and market cap were never in the same realm.
