- asdff 6y agoWhile high, nearly an order of magnitude lower than all the others in FAANG. Microsoft is a 1.5T+ company yet remains excluded. Imo, FAANG means 'sexy millenial tech company with a gigantic retail investment interest' moreso than anything about the size and significance of the actual companies.
