It makes some sense - if you replace Netflix with MS, the list will be the 5 largest tech companies. Netflix is only there because of how the term was coined in the first place - FANG (originally without Apple) was a list of stocks that Jim Cramer liked around 2013 and the acronym caught on and evolved from there.
- rdiddly 5y agoI always wondered why the hell Netflix was even on the list, so thanks.
- HPsquared 5y agoIt's like the BRICs countries - Brazil doesn't really fit.
- FillardMillmore 5y agoCurious, is Jim Cramer generally respected by the crowd that frequents HN?
- TuringNYC 5y agoDoubtful, but sometimes a good acronym is worth a thousand words.
