Uh, what? Microsoft is currently the 2nd largest company in the world, sometimes it’s the largest. Do you have any idea how many people use say, Office 365 in a given week?
Netflix is 1/10th of the size by market cap, I don’t understand why it’s even a part of the acronym.
Personally, I hold individual shares of MSFT and AAPL and no other big tech company exposure outside of index funds.

- skinnymuch 5y agoThe acronym was concurrently used because of stock performance. I actually thought that was and is the larger reason it is used. Perhaps not on HN, but in general.
